What else can/should I add with Hewbie?

[AydenLincoln]

I have Hewbie, the picasso trigger, bristletooth tang, bicolor angel, marine betta, and soon to be a dusky wrasse. Eels are a no go because I don’t want anyone to be a snack or it to jump out. Can I get another tang or mix angels? I’ve always been discouraged from both. Especially since I wouldn’t add them at the same time. Thoughts? What about other wrasses? I know every tank is different but I know people who have dozens of fish in the same sized tank which isn’t good necessarily but I even know someone with 20 fish in theirs. I know max capacity will always vary but I always wonder how people can be successful with this.

Anyone? Wrasse ideas?

Seems pretty full for a 5ft tank! I definitely wouldn't add another tang or angel.

It won’t let me tag @icantthink :( Someone please tag them for me. I don’t know why but not all users appear or can get tagged when I try.

I’m thinking a rock wrasse would be really cool. A hog fish might be cool took. Red hawkfish would be great. Super awesome personalities, particularly for someone like you who is into fish with fun personalities (I always laugh at your Hewbie stories!).

@i cant think

@AydenLincoln - you have to type their user name exactly.

An eel was my first thought, so interested to hear some other ideas :)

It’s interesting because I’ve tried that lol! The same thing happens with Daniel R2R user lol. I know they have spaces in it but adding it just creates the username @/i lol!

I've had trouble tagging Daniel in the past too.

I would but they are like gold and either really tiny from BIOTA or cost an arm and a leg literally lol!

Wrasse wise you’re looking at most of the ones we all want to own but may not be able to because of our tanks being too peaceful.
Some of the smaller Thalassoma (personally I love the Lucasanum) would be a good idea. I also personally love Hologymnosus species.
Smaller Coris species could be good too, species like Coris dorsomacula (or caudimacula) and Coris pictoides.

For others that may not be sand sleeping, you could have larger Fairies (Cirrhilabrus scottorum and C. melanomarginatus may be good ones to think about).

Here’s some of the fish ive been talking about :)
Hologymnosus (this is specifically doliatus).

Coris species (specifically Pictoides and Dorsomacula)

Larger Cirrhilabrus species (specifically melanomarginatus and one I didn’t say but lineatus)
