ideas?

[adam13]

I have a 90 with 2" livesand and about 150 lbs live rock
In the tank: Frenchangel Blueangel Yellowtang Sharpnose puffer Redcoris wrasse 3 greenchromis
I just gave the porkfish to a friend
The tank has been running perfectly with no problems for about 1.5 years
Suggestions on what will get along with them and be blue or red? My thoughts were: Bluetang Clownfish redhawk neongobies
Any ideas are appreciated, thanks
Adam

With the exception of the chromis, those are all pretty sizeable fish that will get too big for your tank, IMO. I kind of think that not adding might be the best plan. If you're determined, a flame hawk, or any type of hawk for that matter would be pretty small, but still be able to hold its own. Just my opinion though...I might be more conservative than I should be.

so a clown or neon goby is too big for a 90? Im not arguing, I would just like info on why. Believe me, I dont want to cause problems in the tank.

 

[molamola]

A clown would do alright, but the neon goby, in my opinion, is a little too friendly. Maybe I'm wrong, but all of the fish you have listed can be aggressive and a neon goby might not thrive with those tankmates. Also, I never said a clown or a neon goby would be too large for a 90. I merely suggested that the hawkfish had a similar personality to those you already have and doesn't get too large.

what about a flame angel

 

[adam13]

I was under the impression that angels dont usually get along. I caught and put the two I have on the same day, so I guess I am lucky they are getting along. I dont really want to risk a fight. Or is this false? Would a flame angel get along??

 

[molamola]

It was always my understanding that you don't mix the small angels with the large, unless it's a REALLY REALLY big tank, but some people have made it work. Still, with two angels in there already, why risk it?

I agree with you Mola, I have heard a lot of people say that on this site about the angels. Well actually I haven't heard it, I've read it.

yeah, you need a 150 to have a angel and a dwarf. now, I have a friend who bought a coral beauty and a flame at the same time and put them in a 125 and they did fine together-most of the time they would fight though, but I guess it can be done.
