Hi everyone,

I have a 90 gallon reef tank and I am looking to add some new fish. I have had the tank set up for almost a year and haven't added any new fish in a while. Below is the list of current fish I have in the tank. Let me know what fish you think I should add and how many.
Thank you,
David


Chevron tang - aggressive
Blue jaw trigger
Foxface
Six lined wrasse
Pair of pink skunk clowns - very territorial
3 bangaii cardinals
Purple pseudochromis
Cleaner shrimp
Couple emerald crabs

You will be limited with what you can add, since you have long established fish, with a couple of species that can be aggressive toward new additions. Whatever fish you decide upon I would recommend using a social acclimation box for introduction.

Species I would consider would include: pyramid butterfly, fasciatus anthias, a species of Canthigaster puffer, a marine betta.
 
I probably would not add any more fish, you seem to be overstocked already. The Chevron Tang has its established territory in a tank that small (too small for him in my opinion), he will likely kill any new additions.
