210 gallon, fish Ill be transferring over from current tank: yellow, purple, sailfin, and blue tang, all very small no more than 5 inches right now, and getting along, I also have a copperband butterfly that ive had for while and a flame angel and some wrasses, specifically a melanorous and a formosa.

Fish I was planning to get:

powder blue eventually since I want to add him last

and two more yellow tangs so they could school

however want to hear what other people think about it since I know a lot of the fish I have right now so i dont want to overstock the tank.
 
I have 2 Tangs in a 185gl & 7 just seems like to many in a 210, there could be a lot of fighting over grazing areas.

yeah thats why I was considering not getting the powder blue and the other two yellows as the ones that I have now get along just fine and I don't want to disturb the hierarchy they have built for themselves, I agree with you and it makes sense what you said.

I wish mine was over 200 so I could have more tangs but my Hippo & Chevron get along great, it helps that they are different genus also.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
