Am I overloading my tank?

[Jesterrace]

I think the yellow tang is a mistake in a 75g. The tank is not long enough

Agreed, had to boot one that was about 4 inches from my 90 gallon because it tried to take over the whole tank after only a month and turned downright brutal to my Coral Beauty Dwarf Angel. Aggressive fish. @ the OP, I have a 90 gallon (same tank as a standard 75 gallon just 3 inches taller) and I replaced my Yellow Tang with a One Spot Foxface and the tank has been much happier since. As for Foxfaces being shy, mine is easily spooked and a bit of a spaz but more often than not he is out and about in the tank with the other fish. All depends on the individual though.

I had looked at Anthias back in the day, but I felt like they needed bigger tanks than a 75

My foxface was really shy for the first 5-7 days or so had me worried cause he wasn't eating but now hes swimming all over the tank and hes a giant pig eats everything

I really want to add a foxface rabbit fish, but I'm concerned I'm adding too many. I have a 75 gallon DT with a 15 gallon sump.

Current residents in DT are
2 clowns- 5 months
bicolor blenny - 4 months
purple fire fish - 3 months
peppermint shrimp
cleaner shrimp
blue tuxedo urchin
CUC

Current fish in QT
Coral beauty - 3 weeks
yellow tang - 3 weeks

My plan was after I finish the qt on the coral beauty and tang to get a foxface in QT. I also would really like to add a diamond goby. I'm worried that would be to many fish.

I think you'll be fine. If you want to add a fox face I would do it the SAME TIME as the tang.. Once the tang gets his/her territory they can get belligerent. As others noted, they will do that to species that they feel will compete for their food source.

Foxface and Tangs are a risk together. As mentioned above they're both herbivores and compete for the same foods.

I added a foxface to a tank occupied by a powder brown tang and it was "game on". Both suffered injuries and had to be seperated. Both survived but lesson learned.

That's too bad that foxfaces are shy, I will probably reconsider it than.

I don't think all are but probably case by case
