Hi all,

I've got a 7mos old 150g mixed reef; my first.

My current bioload: Chromis, Clownfish, Cardinal Banggai, Convict Tang, Royal Gramma, Diamond Watchman Gobi, Cleaner Shrimp, Tiger Conch, variety of softies, LPS, and down the road some SPS, hermit crabs, emerald crabs, sand sifting stars, and snail CUC.

I'm looking for my next fish - specifically I'd like it to be all yellow, or at least 80% yellow. I've looked at yellow angelfish, or yellow tangs... Angelfish seems to questionable for a mixed reef...

Questions:
- Can I have a Yellow Tang alongside my Convict Tang?
- Longhorn cowfish? Too advanced for a newbie like me? :)
- Foxface Rabbitfish?

Expertise is always appreciated!

foxface is a good fish, maybe a yellow goatfish. I'm not sure tank requirements on goatfish

Yellow Coris wrasse. I love because it also eats pests.

Midas blenny. Lots of personality.

Blue spotted jawfish. Beautiful fish.

Yellow watchman goby. Good to pair with pistol shrimp. Should be ok in a large tank with your diamond goby.

+1 on midas blennie, mine swims quite a bit but will hide in his Barnacle home when startled. Very cool fish.

I vote foxface, but be warned: Mine gives me a nice shower whenever I walk by the tank when the lights are out. He's a little nervous.

Yellow Coris Wrasse all the way. Vibrant yellow color, great personality, and eats many pests
