is this too many fish

[motameto]

I have a 75 gallon with
2 mandarin goby
2 false percula
3 six linewrasse
1 yellow watchman
2 blue green chromis
1 royal gramme
2 hermits
2 pistol shrimp
a few snails left that my hermit didnt kill
1 pink cucumber
1 fighting conch
and 1 cucumber that looks like a turd, cant remember the name.
I know I need more of a clean up crew.

Sounds good. I wouldn't go buying too much more though, you're about stocked out.
You know if the cucumbers become stressed they can poison your tank, right?

I would like to get a blue tang, but it sounds like that might be puching my luck.
If the cucumbers get stressed will the poison kill my fish?

How long have you had the 2 mandarins? They eat pods, and two could deplete your pod population very quickley.

I'd say you're definately pushing it with that list, and I'd definatly say no way for 2 mandarin's in a new 75, I'd say maybe one when you get a good pod population, I plan on putting a blue hippo tang in my 75 but there's going to be little else as far as fish.

I had the tank set up for 8 months before buying them. I have had them for about 4 months now. I get mysis shrimp, and I feed them baby brine. They both seem to eat the brine, because when I put some in the tank, both of them come out, and start nipping at the rock. I have a friend that I am going to give the 2 chromis to.
thanks for the reply to my post.

these alone will be a problem with that new of a tank.i would not put that many pod eaters in my 180 with 300 pounds of rock! and yes the six line's do eat other stuff but they love pods!

I have a 20 gallon I just set up, just for raising pods. a five gallon for raising brine shrimp eggs. Plus I buy mysis. Do you think that would work.
