What's THE LAST fish you want to add that will complete your reef tank?

[Reeferbadness]

Achilles tang for me. Eventually when I get my dream tank. I also have many dream wrasses but will plan to add them in slowly over time.

Be careful with achilles Tangs..... very susceptible to ich (which almost all tanks have). Mine just died after 3 months. I thought he was ok after initial ich reaction.... but it came back with a vengence and he's gone now. I won't make that mistake again. The other fish are all ok. All are somewhat immune to Ich (swallo tail angel, foxface, another Tang (can't remember which kind but pretty big) and a few smaller fish.
Here's a pretty good summary of the situation with these fish

Ich and Acanthurus tangs - Years of experience and ich management

Alright folks I wanted to share some pretty shameful realities about my past and dealing with Acanthurus tangs. To anyone that doesn't know, common Acanthurus tangs include Powder Blue, Powder Brown, Goldrim/white cheek, Achilles, Sohal, Clown...

Thanks for sharing. Definitely always on my mind. I’m so sorry you lost yours!!!

Rabbitfish, doesn't have to be this one but I like this one. I don't want the standard fox face lo or one spot, something different.

I have one of these.. his name is Peter. He’s everyone’s favorite fish, lots of personality (definitely more than my foxface) and loves to come up to say hello and follow people around the tank. When he wants attention (or begging for Nori) he’ll make a big splash out the top of the tank. He’s also got very cool camouflage colors when I’m working on the tank, impressive to see. Peaceful guy to boot.. definitely a fish you’ll get attached to.

It’s a Siganus guttatus, also called a yellow blotch or orange spotted rabbit fish.

My lfs has had biota regal angel for almost a year now that I would like to add to my new tank. It's fat healthy and expensive. The latter making me hesitate.

I just put my blue ribbon back in last week.
The Bond Villains are complete once again until I one day upgrade the tank.
Ignore the hair algae. That has been remedied.

Clown tang again just a nightmare fish

They aren't too bad if you feed a lot. I also separate new additions for a few days, and add a mirror to the side of the tank when I add new guys. Keeps both the clown and sohal in check my clown is about 5.5" long, the sohal roughly 5". This pic is a bit older, egg crate is moved and the 2 are living together now. Currently have a 6" blue angel (Holacanthus bermudensis) on the opposite side of the eggcrate.

On another note, is anyone here ever really done? I'm always adding more fish, once a tank is packed, I work on another tank.
