I am new to a hobby and have a 125 gall salt water tank with no corals . So far my fish stock is following
Anthias-1
Yellow Wrasse-1
Clown -1
Royal Gramma-1
CArdinal-1
Melanurus Wrasse-1
Fox Face -1
Flame Angel-1
Black Cap Basslet -1

I would like to add white tail bristletooth tang , Powder Blue and Pakistani butterfly but I am not sure do I have enough room . Please help me decide what to add and what not

Don't do a Powder Blue.

Aggressive fish and too small of a tank for an Acan. tang.

Should be good with the Bristletooth.

The thing with tangs is you could own a sea life centre and people would still say too small i have a powder blue in a 4 foot tank and shows no aggression what so ever to other tank mates i say go for it ur fish are all small apart from the foxface

While true, it's also probably important to mention to them how mean powder blues can occasionally be in smaller tanks and how small they can make a 125 look swimming around

Pakistani should be fine, been looking into those for a while to add to my tank when I upgrade. Very striking! As for the powder blue Ive heard people say theirs is mean, or its way more prone to ich and stuff than other tangs. I have a baby blue hippo, he is very beautiful and chill with my other fish. I personally like the blue’s color over the powder blue but thats just me. I say if you want to try the powder blue try it. Tangs are a very hot topic in the hobby, everyone has a different opinion! Only way youre going to know is if you try him.
