STOCK LIST For A 180 Gallon? NEED HELP!!!

Thread Starter 

Im trying to figure out how many more fish i can add to the tank when i upgrade, also i need some help with a stock list.

this is what i have in my tank at the moment.

 

1-blue hippo tang         3 inch

1-yellow tang               3 inch

1-flase per clownfish     1 1/2 inch

1-midas blenny            4 inch

1-royal grammer          2 inch

1-yellw watchmen goby 1 1/2 inch

1-mystery wrasse         5 inch

2-pajama cardinal         2 inch

1- i have a clam as well.

 

i also have a 29 gallon set up with a longnose hawk and a blue devil damsel. i think im gonna get rid of the damsel. would the longnose get along with the list above. thinking about putting the watchmen in the smaller tank when we move.

 

Could i add anything if this is my stock list? If so would could i add to where all my fish would get along? i have a saltwater book but cant seem to find it. prolly already packed up. any help would be awesome. thanks guys.

Your hawk should be ok, BUT do you have any shrimp?   If so they will not last with the hawk

 

I think you could add a nice dwarf angel, like the flame or coral beauty

maybe a one spot foxface (one of my new favorites)

I also have a yellow coris wrasse, and it is BEAUTIFUL

all the LFS around here have had problems with flame angels nipping corals. Yet I always see that as a reccomended fish. weird.

You just never know....There are quite a few people on here that have the flames in their reef tanks w/o issue...me included

 

Maybe it has to do with what we feed themshrug.gif

could be, they are both in large 400+g tanks so maybe they arent as fast as some of the others during feeding time or something.

One of the LFS's has tried to spear his to get it out, the other tired making a fish trap. so far both fish live on.

How are you gonna afford the money to get the food for them? That's a VERY IMPORTANT thing to think about. You don't want your fish dieing, cause of lack of food. Also, if you get a really big tank, you have to be careful. You don't want to overflow the ammount of room your fish have to swim around, and eating, and have fun. :P

The problem is you mentioned knowing Burrito...I think you are Burrito. We are split between wondering if he is a young boy or a troll….OR…..He has a split personality and you are the one that controls the ability to make a sensible sentence.

 

Your knowledge of fish is equal and worrying about buying fish food for a saltwater tank is very Burritoish.

 

We really are not mean bad unfriendly people. In our defense Burrito has been torturing us with silly comments all over the board. You know like

 

How are you gonna afford the money to get the food for them? That's a VERY IMPORTANT thing to think about.

All that’s missing is  the o.O

 

The only thing that throws me off is the complete sentence but Burrito has slipped a few times and wrote a whole sentence, which led me to believe he is a troll.

 

 

If I’m wrong I’m sorry and Welcome to the site…If I’m right..get rid of the Burrito personality and you stay around and learn.
