    After upgrading to the 90g I think once I let this tank catch up I can add another fish or 3????

    Current stock;
    mandarin
    YT
    2 occ's
    bicolor dottyback
    chromis
    3 pajamas

    I know, I know, prob stocked enough. However, I feel with my tank set up, where my fish are calling home, and the urge to stay where I am with corals/clam, (gonna stick with LPS, softies, maybe a few easy SPS, and clams) I just can't get the SPS bug like most do, I love my LPS.
    I know I have few options left;

    The obvious frontrunner is a wrasse or 2 ( which a flasher and a leopard would win, maybe???)

    then a trio of bartlett anthias would be next, close second

    then a tomini tang would be a distant 3rd, love the fish, just don't want to anger the YT, she's testy.

    Or hold? or listen to other options?

    I would go with one fairy or flasher wrasse, nothing else though. The bi-color dotty may bully any new fish.

    lol, love the idea, just not the dead fish that would result:(

    Yeah kinda heavily leaning that direction, thinking of saving a getting a evolved level of wrasse, lol, but love the leopards, gotta wait a month or so anyways, so prob just gonna start perusing and waiting for DD to pop something I have to get up!:)

    Sounds like a distant project then. I'd give my opinion, but I have never owned any of the fish you mentioned. Bump for others.

    yeah i shouldve just caught the bugger during the transfer, I knew he'd be an issue, but got attached and couldnt re home him;) similar to your YT, if ya still have him?

    I know, have to start seperate tank up for food most likely, but been considering that anyways for a nano seahorse tank, but we digress.

    If the leopard wins, it will be a 2-3 month project getting a tank set up for food;)(
