I disagree - only because clowns establish their territory first - however - believe it or not this is not an opinion based thing - every tank has had fish added in different orders, etc. Its something - to question - but the honest answer - do what ever you want - and deal with the consequences
Still a lil tight if I had to be honest…(for 58g volume)
I’m not so much a tang cop as not a big believer in the “re-homing” movement, yellow tangs can get a lil large
if you can’t find a male, you can just get 3 girl Anthias (usually)

We all have our own opinions based on our own experience. That's what's great about our hobby.
Lots of experienced reefers on here.
I have a long list of fish I'd never buy again.
An even longer list of some I wish I still had.
I am one who is completely against over stocking but to each their own I guess.
Before doing anything though consider the creatures first and do your research second and read your threads and opinions well third.
Look at a lot of tanks on here.
Best of luck.
Keep us updated.

Bristletooth or Tomini Tang and no Angel
My Lemonpeel angel killed 2 of above.
I wont do another Tang.
The Blue tang will be over a foot. The two above are half the size

I would say you can have as many fish as your filtration can handle. Bigger fish less, smaller fish more.
But you will be struggling to keep nitrates under control if you don't have enough biological filtration

I have two dwarf angels (Watanabei & Swallowtail) - they are beautiful and peaceful. Besides, they don’t get too big.
I don’t think tangs in captivity get over a foot, unless you got a tank like Andrew Sandler at Polo Reef!

Did you say Lemonpeel???? I can't use enough swear words against this supposedly peaceful fish. I guess I could put a dollar loss. The one I got liked about 3000$ of coral...
Well, at this point, it's probably "Cheaper to keep her?"

No @bakbay - it literally mowed through my LPS - while I was thinking it was a disease. Then - I sat for 5-6 hours watching. Soon - when the monster felt comfortable - it ate and ate and ate. The 5 days trying to trap is was another issue

That fish went back to the store as soon as I could capture it.Well, at this point, it's probably "Cheaper to keep her?"
Which is why I said - impossible to say which fish will do well or not. I have had multiple angels - never touched a coral.

Yes indeed!
Knock on e-wood, so far -- I have had minimal casualties with corals. My Hippo Tang massacred half my wife's zoas garden until I caught her in the act! Well, lucky for me (and Dory, the Hippo) -- I just moved the garden to another tank!No @bakbay - it literally mowed through my LPS - while I was thinking it was a disease.

Thanks to Vetteguy, now I have 4 Klein Butterflies, one in each tank for aiptasia control. Well, I have zero aiptasias left but I've noticed some zoas disappeared at random though! Other than that, I'm a huge fan of these fish. It's worth the risk!
