    I have a large purple tang,maroon clown,purple firefish,2 damnsels in my 125.
    I would like to add another fish and am working on catching the damnsels.
    I was thinking about maybe 3 anthias.Any suggestions?The problem is that my purple Tang is a real A!@%hole!The clown seems mild mannered as do the damnsels to a point,except when i put my hand in the tank and the one damsel attacks.I hate that guy!
    Any suggestions?

    Actually i have thought of an eel but i dont know what my coral banded shrimp would think,or my firefish for that matter.lol I think i am going to try some anthias after the damsels are removed.I know a 125 isn't huge but with just the tang,clown and firefish everyone should have enough space.What do you guy's think?

    Hi Ranger

    Power man has 2 Anthias in his 90 - so IMO your OK for space

    but the Maroon clown may have a different opinion to me

    Tangs can be real bastards as well as the maroon. Anthias are beautiful fish but not very hardy from what I understand. EELs are cool and all but in my opinion should be left in the wild.

    If you don't give the anthias a shot what about an angel of some type?

    Yellow Tang goes nice. Also like the personality of the Fire Hawk and Midas Blenny. Midas Blenny is like the Jaw Fish but doesnt dig. Also Barnacle Blennies. That will be my next fish,.
