I want a new fish!

[whip1]

I really want a new fish no Tangs I already have 3 I want something really colorful that gets good size not huge or aggressive.
I have been seeing a lot of full tank shots and noticed there are people that have majestic angel fish in their reef. I thought they weren't reef safe?
any idea's on what fish with pictures you all can suggest would be really great
Thanks

Wrasses. If you aren't attached to your inverts, I'd go Aussie Harlequin Tusk. Just my opinion. Bellus angelfish pair possibly too.

How about a fairy wrasse? Anthias?

I have a full reef 225g and have 2 tangs, rabbitfish, 6 angels and lots of wrasses.
I cant keep meaty lps though.

How about a pyramid butterfly?

I have about 15 fish in it now I like the look of lots of fish in a reef.

saifin tang
yellow belly hipo tang

I have an Asfur Angel and a Majestic Angel. Neither one touches any corals or clams.

She loves scolymia and acans. Cant keep them, but most other lps are safe.

here's what I have been dreaming of but I'm afraid to try it. do you think the Majestic would be ok with my stock list ?
Angelfish - photo gallery, Emperor Angelfish (pomacanthus imperator), Coral reef, photos of coral reef, coral reef pictures

Contrary to a widely held belief, I have found that generally angels (and I am speaking of the large angels here, not necessarily the pygmies) get along fine with other angels. In fact I have a lot more trouble with tangs getting along than angels. I do not think keeping a Majestic with your other fish is a problem. Same with an Emporer. In my tank, the Asfur is a grouch, and he will chase any other fish that gets in his way. But he chases all fishes equally, not any one in particular. The Majestic is as mild mannered as you could find.

How big is your tank?

Also, I personally don't like a rabbitfish (even though I have one). Rabbitfish are spazzes, and have very little personality. Plus they sting - that combined with being a spaz is not a good combo IMO especially when your hands are in the tank. Again, that is just my opinion - if there was a fish in my tank I want to get rid of, it is the rabbitfish. But it behaves itself and is too hard to catch, so it stays...

Thanks for the info. I have no intrest in creating an aggressive tank.
all my fish right now get a long great and I would like to keep it that way however I still would like to add some more color and movement.
I love Anthias maybe I should just wait and get some of them in the future?

Have yoiu considered pairing your flame angel or coral beauty? That's what I would do

no I haven't. I didn't know I could have more than one of them heck I don't even know what sex they are. how would I go about doing that?
I must do some research on that

All Pomacanthidae are born female. Until they grow larger and either establish a pair, or become dominant, they stay female. Easiest way to pair angels, especially Centropyge, is to find an (obviously) smaller one than what you have. Both species are commonly seen in the trade so this wouldn't be an issue. You will want to QT well (as with all fish) and ensure they're acclimated to captivity and accepting the foods that you feed. There will undoubtably be some chasing and dominance establishing rituals , but if healthy and fat the new addition can take it and they'll likely pair off. Whenever I add new fish, or particularly trying to pair fish, I use an acclimation box in my main tank. This process is referred to as "socially acclimating" and allows the current residents view the new addition, but can't come into direct contact with them - good for both!
