Fish suggestions to add to my 90
I am looking to add a bit more variety to my livestock. Color variety in particular (red or multi-colored)
The tank is a 90g with less than normal amount of rock work (more spacious) but several caves and hiding places - not total minimalist. It is a mixed reef and I will be working hard to increase the SPS population. There are no crabs, clams, shrimp, etc... Currently I have: 2 Osc. Clowns 1 blue chrome 1 Blenny (two tone orange and blue forget the name) 1 leather 1 yellow tang 1 six line I only want to add one, maybe two medium or a few more small/schooling. Everyone gets along just fine and the tank has been going for 5 years. I have added the leather and wrasse within the past year...all else have been around a while. Current considerations are: Flame hawkfish or small school (3?) of Pajamas Input on one of these additions or suggestions for something else would be appreciated.

I think, with that combination, especially with the 6 line, if it's peaceful, leave it alone.

Are you BB or do you have a sandbed? Red Scooter would be different then a lot of the stuff you already have. I also saw a red cardinal in Divers Den a couple of days ago, that probably schools.

I love my Flame Hawk, probably my favorite fish! The way they perch on things is very entertaining.

Be Careful with hawk fish they are sometimes know to bully fish in the lower lv of the tank. And mine did just that. If any got close to the bottom he would chase them off

I am sort of stuck on this guy or a small school of pajamas...all my fish get a long great. The only time I tried to add a "school" was the blue chromis and well that wa several years ago...my big blue chromi is here because he ate all his classmates. I can't see the same thing happening with PJs but who knows...a trio of little fish would be a good diversified addition...but this bright red beauty - who perches like the blue/orange blenny "bubba" I have...also cool.

I think flame hawks look awesome and have a very unique personality.
