I need some fish

[nel621]

i have set up a 125g and after a couple of losses I only have 2 fish,both are cinnamin clowns.I have about 150lbs of lr.A huge w/d with skimmer.I need about 5 fish.I know the clowns are semi-aggresive.I also want to add a shrimp or 2.I really don't want too many small fish unless that means i can add to my 5 fish wish list.Also can I have more than 5?From reading on these boards here what I found;
flame angel,coral beauty,six line wrasse,neon goby,kaudern[sp] cardinal,humu picasso,yellow tang
I want a variety of colors also.
TIA
Nelson

You only want 5 fish in a 125G?

I want more.But had I posted wth a larger amount I think the boards would go nuts!By the way the local FS had a nice pigmy angel today.They also had 2 small picassos.Would the picasso trigger get along with the previous list of fish?

 

[unleashed]

your list should be ok minus the huma.. these are very aggressive fish and in time will just make snacks out of the rest of your live stock

Great list.
I would scratch the yellow tank if it were me. They are bullies. I love Kole or Tomini tangs. As far as pygmy angels I would get the coral beauty.

+1 i would go with a Kole....A yellow gets pretty big for that size of a tank IMO. Plus a kole is just a cooler fish

cole would be a nice hardy tang.
love the flame angels and hawks
humas are nasty tempered.
my friend just lost a $500 black tang to a yellow tang ,beat it to death.

 

[nel621]

So o you think I can do more than?maybe with some of the smaller fish like the goby.Keep in mind I do want a shrimp or two.

125 is a nice size tank if you run a sump i dont see why you cant have 10-12 moderate size fish .i have a 150 gallon with 11 fish and 3 are pretty big.
i have a 45 gallon sump.it is about full .i am building a 220 gallon now but the 150 looks nice and the water stays perfect.
