    Hey all, it comes that time where I need more life in my tank (it's a 90G with a 20G sump).
    Currently I have:
    • Bicolor Foxface
    • Oscellaris Clown
    • Bicolor Blenny
    • 4 Green Chromis
    • Domino Damsel (That is going back tomorrow, tired of him limiting my fish options because of his aggression)

    I'm looking for a variety of colors but I just want fish that will get along together. Just looking for suggestions if you think they would all get a long.
    Here's what I'm looking at.
    • A couple more Green Chromis (I like the idea of a nice colorful school)
    • Copper Banded Butterfly
    • Bristletooth Tomini Tang
    • Some a couple Firefish
    • A pair of mandarin's
    • And another oscellaris clown at the end.

    Tell me what you think :)

    I didn't realize copperband got so big thought it was 70g,
    I want a lot of life in the tank so that's why im going with a bigger protein skimmer to handle a heavier bioload but not go completely overload, Would it be okay if I replaced the copperband with a smaller angel? Something like a flame angel.

    Comments in red, you might be able to get two big fish but I would stick to one.

    I believe so, a Dwarf Angel would be a good choice.

    When you get a CBB you have to start with a healthy specimen that is eating a variety of quality foods. Some hobbyist of no trouble with them, in most tanks though the perish in months if not sooner, probably due to nutritional deficits or tank mates that are much more assertive.

    I liked this youtube for CBB feedings.

    How to feed my Copperbanded Butterfly Fish (Chelmon rostratus). - YouTube

    I found this of interest as well regarding how to choice a healthy specimen.
