Here is my list of what I have:
75 gal tank

1 large yellow tang
1 med. clarkii clown (blue stripe)
1 med. koran angel
1 med. snowflake eel

1 small yellow damsel
1 small green chromis
1 small blue/yellow devil damsel
1 small mandarin dragonnet

live rock, bubble tip anemone, pencil urchin, and a couple pieces of coral (leather and mushrooms) that the koran surprisingly does not bother, so I would like for whatever I get to be somewhat reef safe as well.

Also, if you think i have too much already let me know, but only the first three are really recognizable in the tank. I wouldnt mind another decent sized fish like maybe a wrasse or trigger of some sort. Was also thinking of some type of goby, was looking at a pink spotted shrimp goby but I read that they can be aggressive toward other gobys, and don't want to hurt my mandorin dragonnet. Also, if I got another goby I don't want my eel to eat him, which I think he doesnt eat the mandarin dragonnet b/c of the apparent 'slime' they excreet to keep away predators.

Thanks for the advice!

I think you are pretty stocked already with a 75 ga. I don't think it would be a good idea to advise you to get anymore fish. Sorry.

I'm surprised your eel hasn't eatin any of your fish already.

I'm also of the opinion your stocking list is nice and full already. Definitely don't get a large fish like another full-size angel or a trigger.

the eel gets close on occasion when its feeding time... he swallowed my old maroon clown, but he was pretty small, and was the only one that went anywhere near the feeding stick (which the eel obviously didnt appreciate) everyone seems to get along really well now though.

I guess I kinda already assumed I was stocked enough, but just wanted to hear others say it. oh well... would be nice to get one of those little gobies that peer out of the rocks, just dont want to over do it, or let him get eaten.

the snow flake will eat every thing that it can put its mouth around. Maybe you should give up the eel, then pursue some small gobies/blennies :wink:

that is a slight possiblity, he can be a bit of a nuisance, but is fun to show off to people as a conversational piece. How on earth would I get him out..lol... although I did find him on the middle of my carpet one morning when I woke up about a week after I had him, still kickin though.

I would like to purse some small gobiel/blennis, i suppose my biggest fear of adding another fish is that my current inhabitants have been doing so well! It was so hard to get everything just right with all the fish I lost in the beginning with my impatience, I havent added another fish in probably close to 6 months. I know i should quarantine, but just dont want to, and at the same time would die myself if i lost everything in the tank due to adding another fish.

Just get a sardine put it in on one side of the tank with a net at the other. when it comes up to eat the sardine swoooosh in the bucket it goes, make sure there is water in the bucket:)
Then your gobies and blennies will be the top subject :wink:

Koran Angels get too big for a 75 gallon tank. Personally, I would try to find it a good home or trade it in to the LFS and get the Clarkii a mate.
