    hey fellow-reefers.needs your help again,i got 100g tank(5 footer) with 1 chromis,blue jawfish,watchman goby and onyx clowns.Most of them hiding somwhere and tank still looks like "empty":)would like to add some more show-cruising fishes.how many and what kind i can afford in my tank.
    i wanted less rock in scape to get some space maybe for tangs but i think 5 footer is still too small for them.i would love to have naso tang in it.
    thanks for any input

    It's not too small for all Tangs, but too small for most, Naso included.

    You could easily do a chistle tooth genus (Ctenochaetus). It's just big enough to do a yellow IMO, or perhaps even a purple...

    Fairy of flasher wrasses would suit you nicely with how your tank is covered; you would need to feed 2-3 times/day however.

    A school of anthias would be another great option. Feeding frequently also applies however.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Wrasse types are pretty flashy.

    Anthias are beautiful.

    A Potters Angel, Flame or Coral Beauty would add a lot of color, but note they can begin to nip clams and corals, it's always a risk, but some a perfect citizens.

    I do not know enough about tangs to give an opinion one way or another, other then they will add a lot activity.

    Maybe, maybe not. But they should co-exist regardless.
