Tang Suggestions

[EDO]

Looking for suggestions on tangs that are good in a 125g 5ft reef tank. My wife like really colorful fish.

Current fish in the tank:
One Spot Foxface
Coral Beauty
Six Line Wrasse
McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
Neon Dottyback
2 Neon Goby
Pink Spot Goby
Blue Mandarin
Blue Damsel

I have a Yellow, Yellow Eye and Sailfin in my 125. They all get along great. I keep a very light fish load as well, only 8 others, all smaller in size.

I have a Yellow and Kole Tang(Yellow Eye) in a 125 as well. I like them because they are some of the smaller tangs.

I have a tomini and powder brown in my 125.

You can pick and choose up to 3 tangs that grow under 8" but make sure you add them all at the same time to minimize aggression.

Surprised nobody mentioned this. DO NOT get a six line with your McCosker's Wrasse. The six line is known to be a very aggressive fish toward its own. Yes, you may get a six line that is a nice one - but from my experience they are the Great White's of the fish tank.

Get some clowns... they are colorful. Can also find colorful anthias

My six line surprisingly gets along with a yellow corris wrasse, leopard wrasse, and a mystery wrasse in a 55 gallon
