Hi,
I could use some help deciding what else to add to my 75 gallon aquarium.
Please note that it is only 36” long, not 48”

What’s in there now:

2 snowflake clowns
Royal Gramma
Gold Midas Blenny
Starry Blenny
Flame Angel
Tomini Tang
2 large scarlet cleaner shrimp


What I would like to add:

1. 2nd Dwarf angel: Is there a dwarf angel that looks different enough from my flame angel that will have a pretty good chance of not being bullied?

2. Hawkfish: Would my LARGE cleaner shrimps be OK and remain out in the open if I tried to add either a Flame Hawkfish or a Longnose Hawkfish? I understand the Longnose may be the safer bet.

3. Two colorful wrasses: I would love to add two different colorful wrasses that would stay small enough for this tank. I have never kep any wrasses, but I don’t want to end up with one that loses color. Please help with suggestions on types, if any, that remain beautiful as adults and stay that way, and that will get along.

Any other ideas of other fish that might be interesting to add if another angel or Hawkfish would not work

Thank you!

Honestly?
I'm going to say you're full.
Just my opinion.
No angel for sure.
Not enough room.
Long nosed will take out the shrimp in no time.
Might sneak in a small wrasse but I'm no wrasse expert.

I would get one wrasse, most do not lose color over time. I believe you are thinking of male fairys.

Sixline, Yellow wrasse, leopard, etc.

Pick one and be done. Your tank is pretty full.

I’d say it depends on your setup. Some setups need more fish to provide adequate nutrients to the tank, while others have high nitrate and phosphate problems. In my case I’m always in danger of bottoming out my nitrates so I’m adding a lot of fish to my 80gallon.
If you’re in the need more nutrients camp I think a single Anthias would be great, I love mine always out and aggressively feeding. Swims along side the midas blenny. I’m also looking at a leopard wrasse to add near the end of my stock list, which should fit in fine in your crew too. They just need a good pod population and some sand to sleep in.
I’m with others on not adding another angel or the hawkish.
