fish stock

[barngeatbayman]

let me know what you think. I am setting up right now a 105 gallon FOWLR later on I may get some MH lights and add some simple corals
1 Royal gramma or Blackcap gramma
2 clownfish
1 Finespotted Fairy Wrasse
1 Diamond Gobie
3 Blue green Chromis
when the tank in more established 6 to 8 months
1 Flame Angel Fish
1 French Angel Fish
what do you think any problems or any suggestions of fish I may have overlooked or that will get along better

Minus the fench angel, it's a great list. The French will outgorw the tank big time. This is a fish that needs a tank in the 250 gallon range.

i think if u took away the frenchie u could add more things (not lots mind u but maybe 3-4 more fish)

 

[barngeatbayman]

what would you suggest instead of the french angel?

a smaller tang of some sorts, a hardier butterfly maybe

 

[barngeatbayman]

was hoping for some more opinions anyone out there!!

 

[b0bby1]

i would def recommend a smaller tang such as a yellow tang, theyll add some color and ur tank is definetly big enough.

I thought tangs needed a tank with a minimum of 6 feet in length this tank is only 4 feet anyone care to comment?

yes, but they will be ok for a while, tho soon u may want a bigger tank

instead of the chromis.... do 3 anthias

 

[barngeatbayman]

I do like anthias, I heard they were alittle tricky for the novice. Is that true? What have been your experience?

yes dont, they need to be fed alot, the most need to be fed atleast 4 times a day. they have high metabolisms and should not be kept by some1 w/o a substantial amount of time on ur hands

 

[barngeatbayman]

ok so I ve got my fish list down to
3 green chromis
1 diamond goby
1 finespotted Fairy wrasse
2 clownfish
1 royal gramma or blackcap gramma
and 6 to 8 months from setting up the tank
1 flame Angel
I would like 1 other feature fish in the tank any suggestions would be appreciated? Keep in mind I might want to add some coral someday.
thanks

sounds good, maybe as soon as its all setup maybe like a bannerfish? i think theyre cool lookin

 

[barngeatbayman]

Sharkboy, Bannerfish I like your thinking I just read up on them. It sounds like they should be kept in at least a pair. Do you think I ll have room for a pair in a 105 gallon I guess I could always drop the green chromis.

Longnose butterfly. They are really active and are one of the more reef safe butterflies.
OR, if you added them at the same time, you may be able to get away with another dwarf angel to go along with your flame. The dwarf angels have so many different color combinations that this would help to add even more color to your tank. We have a keyhole and an Eibli, they get along just fine!!!
