Hi all,
I have a 90 gallon IM EXT 100 48”x24”x18”. I currently have 9 fish and was thinking about adding a few more open swimming fish. Is it possible to add more fish to my tank? If yes, what fish can I add? I was thinking to add some chromis or a couple of wrasses. Please let me know if there’s any fish I should consider. Thanks!

I currently have:
- white tail kole
- long nose hawk fish
- 2 clownfish
- melanarus wrasse
- yellow wrasse
- dartfish
- flame angel
- pintail wrasse
 
I think some chromis would work with your list! Not sure about wrasses, other people could chime in on that. I have two predatory wrasses not any of the fairy or flashers

@Slocke @i cant think
 
I went to my fish store today and the chromis seemed very shy and scared of the tang in the same tank. Is that something I should be worried about?
 
A green chromis would be fine with your existing fish. Be careful with chromis though, many of them carry uronema and they really should be quarantined first to make sure you get one that is clean. I've had mine for 3 years and is a wonderful fish.
 
I am worried about uronema, is there any place you recommend I get the chromis from?

Also any other fish I should look at?
 
Valentini puffers are cool and they get along with other fish I love mine. I don't think they are reef safe so if you have corals it would be a risk
 
I’m a fan of the Chrysiptera Damsels. I added 6 to my 180. 2 of each azure, Talbots, and Blue sapphire. They look great and add movement.

I have a female blue star leopard with my Melanarus and yellow wrasse that is doing well
 
Chromis are cool for a while, then they hide or kill each other. Fellow 90g here, anthias might be what your looking for. I have a M/F pair of Barletts and M/f pair of lyretail. I lean lyretail so far on disposition but it might be due to the barletts command of the water column 😂

On wrasses - you are near capped, a flasher or a non-aggressive fairy might get along with your current stock but I am not sure how the dwarf angels due to those w/similar colors. See if you have enough sleeping areas for your current crew IE sand or crevices and go from there. If one of your non-sand wrasses is already sleeping in weird/non covered area you may not have enough room for another wrasse.
