Wondering if I can add any more fish to my 40 breeder sps (soon), if anything. Tank has been set up for 6 months.

Here is what I have now;

1 – 2” occellaris clown
1 – 1.5” firefish
1 – 3” dispar anthias
1 – 1.5 green chromis
1 – cleaner shrimp
1 – peppermint shrimp
various hermits
various snails
a couple of feather dusters


I am definitely going to add a dwarf angel.
I will definitely add many sps frags.
I will be adding an above tank refugium.

I like fish!

Can I add anymore fish after the angel?

Any suggestions?

thanks,

michael

After the Angel I'd say you're about at the limit. After that maybe a small goby or something else that stays really small, but I wouldn't suggest more after that.

All your fish are very small, I'd say you can add a few more fish of similar size.

got one answer each way, lol. It is just like when I ask my wife something and she shruggs her shoulders and walks away.

I think I may add one more. I have a lot of open area.

Should my angel be last or can I pick one up when I am in Sac this weekend?

Any suggestions on cool fish for a BB with high flow?

I'm going to side with Peter sort of. I think after you add the angel you'll be at your limit and I would add anything else. Myself I would probably stop before the angel. Beside bioload fish need some territorial space. The angel should probably be added last in your list.
