cheers for the advice
think im gonna go with the sixline instead and scrap the bicolour dottyback, my sis is now choosing the new fish, was thinking maybe a butterfly fish, would that be alright?
selecting the right tang
Re: selecting the right tang
It's likely to be okay, depending on the butterflyfish species. There are many that are reef-safe, so it's worth looking into those.
Re: selecting the right tang
just got an update on the fish my sis chose, its a flash back gramma/pseudochromis diadema - is this a good choice?
my stock list now is
3green chromis
2 percula clown
1flame angel
1 flash back gramma
1 blue line tang
1 kole tang
1neon goby
1 six line wrasee
any thoughts on this stock list - is it over stocked or ok?
next addition - got 3green chromis and 2clowns so what next?
edit------
just picked up a pyjama wrasse and gonna change my stock list - will post new one later on today

Re: selecting the right tang
Overstocking's got me a bit concerned, to be honest. You'll need to do more water changes to keep nitrates in check down the line. I've got 4 in my 55gal now, and I know it's not overstocked, so all the fish have their own space.
As for adding, I'd do it in this order: Neon goby, six line, gramma, flame angel, and then the two tangs. That way, they can all establish their own territories without feeling overcrowded.
