Borbonius anthias are nice.

Personally im big into wrasses right now. I have a red and a yellow coris, 2 leapords, and a red headed fairy wrasse. They have tons of personality and activity

+1 on the Borbonius! Those are baller.

Your stocking all really depends on what you intend for your system. If the emphasis is SPS then a lighter bio load will help. But if its geared toward fish only then fill it up!

I have a 150g standard 5'x2'x2'. All I have are 7 fish:
Yellow tang
Desjardin tang
Hippo tang
Black tang
2 retarded stubby clowns
1 black/white clown

...so I have to hustle to catch up with you!

A few wrasses would add movement to ur tank. Midas blennies are nice to

Thx it's a mixed reef and I have over for filtration. So how many more fish should be fine ?

Here are some old pics from when I first got him. Probably close to a year ago. I'm too lazy to walk the 20ft to my tank. Lol

That is a beautiful fish, I might get one this year, are they like the sailfin and yellows? I meant their temperament. I already have 2 yellows, 1 purple, and one large sailfin.

Thanks! I painted the back panel of my tank black so he's hard to find when he posts up and stays still hahaha. This fish in particular gets into it with the desjarin daily. The first few months one or both always had a small tear in its fin but nothing too serious. For the most part the black tang ignores the hippo and yellow, go figure...

How big was it compared to the others? Was it a last addition? Is he an @ss like the powder blue?

The yellow is the largest so that would explain it. But the other 3 are about the same size. Yup he was the last tang to be added. The Desjardin is the aggressor 99% of the time so I believe this fish to be a lover and not a fighter. I REALLY want a powder blue, vlamingi or unicorn...JUST to make the tang police crazy!

The black has a similar shape to a purple and yellow. If I added a black tang, think it and the purple would get into it?

Haha I had one and had to give him away, he was punking my male naso and I love my naso more than the PB. Hmmm, my sailfin is real chill, only my yellows get at it more tho might have to think about this one...

I have a purple, yellow and scopas and have no issues. Others have had bad luck. It's really just a luck thing IMO.

I really like how bartletts shoal. A good small group of 4-6 females and 1 male and your tank won't look empty and they are bright and pretty hardy fish. I added two different types at once and the African anthias killed them in 3 weeks.
