Hello,

I currently have a 69 gallon red sea. Currently stocked with:
2 baby clowns
Coral Beauty
Baby half black mimic tang

I was thinking of adding:
Midas Blenny
Banggi cardinal
Tomini tang
3 wrasses
Engineer goby

Any ideas on what I should add next and or when to add the wrasses and tang??

Okay cool thank you! That is very helpful. Should l try to find a smaller tomini tang due to my mimic being very small now? He is very peaceful so far.

Stay in range of mimic. Smaller tangs tend to be harder to feed

What are the 3 wrasses, just saying ‘3 wrasses’ is loose, some are much more aggressive (Such as Halichoeres garnoti), some need to go in sooner because they don’t like aggression (Such as Cirrhilabrus isosceles).

I would the add the tang last and add the three wrasses at once if possible. Fairies get along in my experience as long as there isn't one already established. If you add them one by one the first will chase the next until it jumps out or dies from stress. A tight fitting lid is also important they can fit through tiny spaces and you don't want any of them to go carpet surfing. Best of luck.
