    Anyone mixed these two in the same tank? I have a 150 gal with the following stock.

    1x PJ Cardinal
    1x Starry Blenny
    1x Firefish
    1x Chalk Bass

    Looking to add

    1x Royal Gramma
    1x Anthias
    1x Fairy Wrasse
    1x Tiger Watchman Goby
    1x Occ Clown
    1x Blue or Yellow Tang

    Just concerned that the Chalk and Royal Gramma won't get along.

    Thanks.

    I think they would be fine in a tank of that size if it has many caves and hiding/sleeping spots.

    Looks good except Anthias normally work best in trios

    Sounds good. It has a fair amount of hiding places, but I may have to change up the rock work and add a couple.

    Thanks for the heads up. May have to rethink that one then. Not sure I want to go above 10 fish.
