New Fish for my max e 170

[TommyDelaney]

I am just finishing a coral frag tank and am planning on redoing the rockwork in the max e 170 (45Gallons). while I have the rock work out I will be catching my bicolor dottyback to put into the frag tank by himself so he cant bully anyone anymore. I have a pair of clarki clownfish and a pajama cardinal. I was hoping now that the bicolor was out id be able to get maybe a small flasher wrasse or fairy wrasse and some other kind of fish to give myself 5 fish. I also have a reefer xxl 625 so I could catch a fish and move it, but id rather just leave fish in to avoid stress. Anyone have opinion on maybe a naoko fairy wrasse for this size or is there a fairy wrasse better for that size. Any other suggestions for fish would be appreciated thanks guys. R2R has helped me with so much already!

Unfortunately, the Clarkii clowns will beat up any new fish as they are mean.

oh is that the case? that is a bummer. they are 1.5" and 1", do you think they will still beat up any new additions or maybe because they are still small will they be able to get along?

Doubtful, but you could try.
