Amazing fish. definitely a dream to have so many tangs. I love my scopes but he is a little skinny and I have never seen him peck at the rocks in my tank
The rocks it'll definitely start ..you feed it Algae sheets? Quickest way to plump a tang imo

ive heard they can be. mine aren't. they fuss around for half an hour before lights out, but it looks like they enjoy it. best friends schooled up the rest of the time.
This is my experience as well. I second a few chromis. Lots of movement in the water column.

I also recommend an anthias. lots of movement in the water column and nice burst of color.

I have 2 clowns, 3 chromis, 1 anthias, 1 spot foxface, 1 lawnmover blenny, and one 6-line wrasse. (65 g tank) The wrasse and blenny do their own thing, but the rest generally all swim around each other like an awkward misfit school. The only time I see any aggression (which is minimal) is 30 minutes before dark where they are trying to decide who sleeps where. For this reason I am not adding anymore fish. They all need their own sleeping space.

Are they blue green chromis?
I also need to find a LFS which carries them, mine has never had them before and the other only gets 1 in at a time

yes. I have purchase fish from SaltwaterFish.com, and have had great experiences. The chromis were about 10-15 a piece

Bartlett's Anthias, because my research was that they were on the less aggressive side and more adaptable to food/feedings.

edit: also purchase from saltwaterfish.com

decided to add 3 lemon chromis to the tank today, got they for about 12 a piece. Thinking about getting 2-3 more fish and adding some live rock to solidify my final stocking. Any other suggestions?

Thank you! Yes, it is.
Dont add a foxface until you have your 125 OP. These grow so fast. Mine went from an inch to 6 or so in just a few months! Fast growers.
