As the headline says. My tank is well established and the exisiting fishes has been there for over a year with no further addition of "intruders" since then, meaning these fishes should be quite aggressive for newcomers. Anyway, as my Goldflake jumped out and died, I would like to introduce something "yellow", and as its always hard to introduce new fishes when the old ones are so established, I will go for an acanthurus (acanthurus pyroferus) which at least once accepted has a lot of selfconfidence. I understand no one can know how this will end, but what do you think? , is it even worth trying? The fish will pass quarantine, then I plan one day in accli box and then release it in the night.
The exisiting fishes and scape (open scape) can be seen in the vidoe. Fishes are:
Imperator, semiadult
Navarchus
Bispinosus
Naso lit
Some Anthias, and 3 oceallaris clowns
Leucosternon

I expect some heavy lashings from the Leucosternon. Especially with it being established and having such an NSA scape. Acclimation box and night time release definitely your best tactic if you go forward. What about a Halichoeres chrysus, great yellow fish that would fit in well I believe
