Ok. I have a 110g water box with lots of corals and a healthy fish list. Wanted to add a couple more fish but wasn’t sure if I was getting close to my cap. Thoughts? This is my current list

3x BG Chromies 1” each

1x BJ Trigger 5”

1x Gem Tang 4”

1x Red Dot Rabbit 3”

1x White Tail Tang 4”

1x Small Coral Beauty 2”

1x Small Starry Blenny 2”

1x Small LN Hawkfish 3”

3x Small Firefish 2” each

1x Small Lyretail Anthius 2”

2x Banggai Cardinal 1.5” each

2x Small Clownfish 1.5” each

1x Small Watman Goby 2”

1x Yellow Coris 3”

Here’s the tank

The number of fish in the fish tank always depends on your filtration energy. There will be no fighting between fish except for territorial sovereignty. How many fish you want to add depends on your mood.​

Keep in mind that the fish will all grow. They start off small and can hide easily, which can keep aggression down. When they get bigger, they have fewer places to hide and they need a larger territory to roam. Not saying that I haven't overstocked, but I try to keep in mind the full-grown size when figuring my stocking list.
