Well it's time to figure out my stocking list for my 185 gallon Tenecor tank that is framed into my wall in 2 weeks. I plan to stock the tank in Late May or early June. All of the fish I am considering are Black and Gold to match my Pittsburgh Steelers themed gameroom they are going into.
Here is a list of fish I am considering. I want to keep around 8 -9 fish that are compatible, won't totally outgrow the tank, aren't going to eat everything else, and are fairly hardy and easy to keep.
3 Henoichus Butterfly
1 Yellow Boxfish or Horned Cowfish
1 Golden Puffer
1 Clown Trigger
2 or 3 Golden Pilotfish
1 yellow tang
1 SFE
1 banana eel
school of black and gold damsels (5)
2 or 3 Yellow tangs
1 bumblebee grouper
1 yellow frogfish
1 foxface
I have reservations about a few of these fish. The cowfish/boxfish because I fear it poisining the tank and I'm not sure how compatible they are with these other fish. The eels because of escapibility and aggressiveness and feeding requirements, the frogfish due to its ability to eat large fish, and the gropuer and Pilotfish due to size.
The Trigger, Puffer, Heniochus, and Pilotfish are my favorites thus far.
Feel free to put together your suggested stocking lists and I will let you know what I decide on in a few weeks.
Thanks in advance!
