Hello all,
I have decided to rework my tank and aquascape to add more caves/hiding spots and then add some new fish. Tank been running and stable since 2017 (160ish gallons: 62 L x 21.5 D x 22 T).
Currently has small male maroon clown, 2.5-3" yellow tang, flame hawk, orchid dotty back and mystery wrasse.
I would like to add a combo of angels and probably an anthias.
I am thinking a female bellus, and a flameback for sure. I am considering adding a couple of larger angels but would likely get them as juveniles. I realize mixing pomacanthus is likely risky, so I am thinking of choosing one to go along with a goldflake juvenile (Apolemichthys). What about mixing a Chaetodontoplus like a blue stripe/lined (C. septentrionalis)?
The pomacanthus list would be annularis, asfur, or chrysurus.
I already had a juvenile emperor for 2.5 years that had become a subadult that died 2 years ago for no apparent reason. It was healthy as a horse. No other fish died. It broke my heart and so I am excluding the emperor strictly based on that. I have missed having the angel in the tank ever since but I needed to remove a nasty female maroon clown and need to rework the rock (not adding new rock) before changing the stock in the tank.
I appreciate any suggestions or opinions!
(all fish will be QT'd and eating prior to intro to tank)
