Stock List

[kopczynski]

Hi I have a 60 gallon FOWLR tank and was wondering if my stock list was okay. It is:
1 pearlscale butterfly
1 pyramid butterfly
1 six line wrasse
1 yellow eyed tang
1 lemon peel angel
3 clownfish
Any comments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

The clowns would be 3 ocellaris clowns.

W the tang and 2 angels your prob overstocked w just them

 

[jay0705]

Sorry angel , butterfly and tang

your 3 clowns will not work two of them will pair up and kill the other one. you can do 4 but it will be risky. then take out one of the butterflys and the tang and you are good. BUT YOU NEED REALLY GOOD FILTRATION. if not take out the other butterfly. but this is all IMO.

I removed the pearlscale and 1, clown. I have a Fluval 406 and a protein skimmer that's for an 100 gallon tank.

 

[kopczynski]

What's wrong with the Tang?

 

[kopczynski]

Do you think I could add a bicolor dotty back?

 

[jay0705]

Yea the tang is fine but not w all the other large fish

i dont see a prob but i have never had a dotty back. and IMO i dont think a tang of any kind could go in a 60. they need a lot of swim space. but you could get away with it if you really wanted to

yes that would work. you can even do some soft corals with thoes lights

 

[kopczynski]

Thanks I'm happy to know that. Any tips for keeping the anemone? And will the clown fish live in it and could I possibly do 2 mini carpet anemones?

 

[kopczynski]

If so how long should I wait until I add the anemones? Sorry about all the questions I'm new to saltwater.

 

[trigger40]

sorry but i have no experience with anemones. you should go to the anemone section of the forum.
