Fish for 60 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium

[dafishdude]

Take a look at flame angels.
I checked and most sites said they're reef safe so I'll get one of those.

 

[dafishdude]

Another problem, how do I feed my hermit without the fish eating the food first.

 

[dafishdude]

I saw a yellow tang at the lfs the other day and it looks soooo good. I want one so bad. Are you sure it'll be too much for the tank. Because other people put those in similar sized tanks.

A 60 isnt long enough for a yellow. If your set on a tang look at the kole tang. There smaller and are a grazer, not the speed swimmer like a yellow. Also a fox would prob get too big aswell, mine is a monster

 

[dafishdude]

Ok, I'll look into that fish. Thx!

 

[dafishdude]

I don't really think that the kole tang is as nice to look at than a yellow tang. Also it's only an inch smaller.

Ok here's going to be my fish list:
2 ocellaris clownfish
1 bluefin damsel
1 flame angel
1 purple firefish
1 mandarin goby(in a year or so)
1 yellow tang(I'm going to move it when it becomes too big)
1 royal gramma
Also 1 skunk cleaner shrimp and some more hermits and snails
I'll also get corals in like 6 months
I'm also not sure if I should get a cleaner wrasse
I might change it if it's necessary
I did quite a bit of research on all these fish
Please tell me anything I should change

Forget the cleaner wrasse - it is one of those fish best left in the ocean. They generally starve to death in captivity because they are obligate parasitovores, meaning that they must eat parasites to survive. You had better not have sufficient parasites in your tank to keep them alive!

 

[jay0705]

Lol. +1

 

[dafishdude]

Ok, then I won't add the cleaner wrasse. Tnx guys!

 

[dafishdude]

How about 2 cleaner shrimp? Or will they fight?

 

[jay0705]

There fine, I have 2 skunk and 2 pep in my 75

 

[dafishdude]

Ok thx!

 

[dafishdude]

Is one cleaner shrimp good enough? Because they're somewhat expensive.

 

[jay0705]

Pep shrimp are cleaner shrimp aswell, and much cheaper. The blood and skunk cleaners are just more eye appealing

 

[dafishdude]

I heard that some won't clean and they're not as efficient. And ur right, they're not as appealing

 

[dafishdude]

Someone is selling me one for 15 bucks tho

 

[jay0705]

Not bad. Mine ive never seen them clean a fish, my skunk I have

 

[dafishdude]

I meant someone is selling me a skunk cleaner shrimp for 15 bucks

 

[dafishdude]

I think one cleaner is good enough for my fish, right? Is there anything special I should feed them?
