I have a 120 gallon display softy dominated reef tank where I am looking to add more fish over the summer period. As of right now my stocking includes:
1. Heniochus Butterfly
2. Scopas Tang
3. Longnose Hawkfish
4. Bellus Angel

I am looking to add about 5-6 more fish into my system but I am having a hard time deciding on which ones to get. I worked in a fishnet store for almost a year and I am still at a lost on what to really add. I dont want to have a standard stocked reef.

Do you guys think a blue throat trigger would work or would that be too many 'big' fish in this size tank?

Besides the blue throat which I am not sure if it will work, I am thinking:
1. Swissguard basslet
2. Leopard wrasse
3. Yellow coris wrasse
4. Tiger watchman
5. 2x bangaii cardinals

Let me know what you guys think or have any other recommendations.

What’s your dimensions?

All those should be fine. Blue throat may outgrow the tank, so keep that in mind.

I would add the wrasses last and at the same time, and make sure you have a deep enough sand bed for them to hide at night.
