Please Help Me Find My New Fish

I can't decide what else to add to my 125 gallon mixed-reef! We have:

Mr. Palani Tang (large, not aggressive, but intimidating because of his size)
Pair of Onyx Percula Clowns
Pair of Bartlett Anthias
Midas Blenny (just plain naughty)
Six Line Wrasse
Small Green Chromis (school of 5)
Cleaner Shrimp (the three amigos)
Pair of Pyle Wrasses (once I catch them they will be in this tank)

My husband is thinking along the lines of another school. Could I add more anthias if I got females (either more Bartletts or a different type, if so which ones)? I will probably get a Dusky or Tiger Jawfish for this tank too. Any thoughts or other ideas?

what about a small school of 5 azure damsels? Awesome looking fish and a doscile damsel! I will get pics of my school of 3 up tomorrow!

I would definitely not recommend another sp. of Anthias in a tank that size, it's just too small and quite probable that there will be aggression between them. IMHO your tank is maxed out with the addition of the Pylei Fairy Wrasses.

You could squeeze in a jawfish!

You're going to have to change your screen name to "Duskyjawfish" or "Tigerjawfish" though!

Aquaman - I'm thinking something besides damsels.

Cheeks - I thought the same thing on the anthias. The two I have are lovely and I don't want to upset them. Maybe I need to add the wrasses and see how the tank looks then decide from there. It could take me a while to catch them.

Dentoid - There is always room for a jawfish! And, I have another tank...

Maybe it will just be a single fish like a neon dottyback, or black cap basslet (which I am afraid I would never see).

Hum, the husband asked me to send him the links to my online stores. That is scary!
