could i add a pair of japanese masked swallow tail would be ok? or am i pushing it
You know your tank better than anyone else, but to me you do have a good number of larger fish. I would personally be looking to add smaller fish, but that would be up to you. As far as if the masked pair would work with your current fish, I imagine your existing angels may not care for the new additions at first...

I have 34 fish and 60+ different corals in 180 gal !!!! Maybe too many for some ,but all are happy and if you know what ur doing and have enough $$$$ you can keep 100 if u want. That's my .2$ , some May and will disagree but works great for me. 10 + years in hobby and $25k+ in trial and error, god rest the souls of my mistakes.

I had one those Atlantic blue tangs they get big fast and some can be nasty , mine was yellow for long time when I gave him away I went to see him and he was pretty blue. Changed like over night.

Mine is in a transition from yellow to blue. He isn't happy in the 65, for sure, but he isn't mean. I hope to add a purple and maybe a yellow to the 180 once we are all transferred over and well setup.
