i have a very large tomatoe clown,and a year from being fully matured emperor angel.
the other fish i would like to add are:
wartskin or giant frog fish
harliquin tusk
russell's lionfish

1" of fish per gallon. Add away. Just be mindful of adult sizes.

Make allowance for fish growth and max size.
Compatibility\eating habits also a big factor to consider.
I would stick with smaller size exotics if a cool variety wanted.
