Good day all! Been stalking on the sidelines for a while. First time post. I am looking to add a blue fish to my 130 mixed tank. First off, do I have the room? I think i do but I want to make sure I am making a good long term decision here. With the exception of the Gramma and Clowns, the others are all juvenile and stocked within 75 days. Want to be careful here as I don't want to alert the Tang police but can I add a purple tang safely and ethically? Would like to add whatever it is soon while they are young. I have been told Angels are out with the Clam! Thank You for your input. Current stock:

Yellow Tang
Tomini Tang
Fox Face
These 3 are like the dynamic trio. They follow each other around all day feeding and such. They are funny to watch acutally.

Clown Pair
Royal Gramma
Pink Spot Goby

Maxima clam

Turbo
SS Star
Urchin

Thank You. Just looked up Springer. Looks like a great option. Much appreciated.
They also have a Springeri Dottyback that's similar color and temperament.

I wouldn't add another tang having two and a foxface already. I have an electric blue damsel that has nice color. Its larger than my yellow tail and yellow belly blue damsels. Its in with a couple of tangs and a sixline and is very active. It doesn't hangout on the rocks like my other damsels including my single starkii do.

EDIT: I'm not sure how multiple electric blues would do but a group would look stunning.
