Hi Everybody!

Yes, another fish compatibility thread :D

I'm shutting down a large tank (divided 8' tank) and want to move some of the fish into my 220 (standard dimensions 6'x2'), but am curious about compatibility...

Here is what is in my 220 that I can think of:
Yellow Belly Blue Tang​
Foxface​
Sailfin Tang​
Yellow Wrasse​
Radiant Wrasse​
6 Ocellaris Clowns​
Two Chromis​
Royal Gramma​
Bicolor Blenny​
Watchman Goby​
Neon Dottyback​

Here is what I want to add from the tank I'm shutting down:
Two Spot Bristletooth​
Blue Tang​
Two Barred Rabbitfish​
Orange Stripe Bristletooth Tang​

Most of the tangs and rabbitfish are of similar size. Aside from the Orange Stripe Bristletooth, which is larger and quite glorious (probably pushing 7-8"). Currently there are no signs of aggression in either tank. The tank I'm closing down doesn't have the full 8 foot run, it's split in half with some holes for the fist to swim through, although they usually just hang out on one side.

I don't know what more to add, I'm sure I am missing some important detail. Anyway, just looking for some feedback, questions or concerns on this situation. Thanks!

Looking good. Dottyback will harass small fishes so beware. Two Spot Bristletooth can show some aggression but list looking good
