I would like to potentially add a small group of shoaling-type fish to my 200 gallon mixed reef tank, however I would like to get some opinions as to whether my tank will be overstocked if I do. I feel like I see such a wide range of stocking levels in other people's tanks that I am really just not sure.
I am considering a group of maybe 5ish Anthias or Fusilier damsels? I would also love suggestions for less aggressive Anthias species if I do have enough space. I have always loved the looks of the bimacs, but they may be too large/aggressive for my tank? Or if anyone has experience with the fusilier damsels I would love some first hand opinions on those.
My current stock list is below, looking for honest opinions on whether I could add anything else. My existing fish I have had for some time and the tank is peaceful, so I want to avoid anything aggressive that will cause drama.
Yellow tang
Chocolate tang
Achilles tang
White tail tang
Choati wrasse
Earmuff wrasse
Springeri damsel
Copperband butterfly
Magnificent Foxface
Sharknose goby
Midas blenny
YWG and tiger pistol shrimp
Thanks in advance for any advice!
