Stock Up My 75

[ma]

I am setting up a 75 gal
I REALLY REALLY want a harlequin tusk
I was thinking maybe the harlequin tusk with two damsels
Any other stosk lists or fish that could go with the harlequin tusk

They grow up to 11", your tank is not large enough long term so think about if you are willing to upgrade :happyfish

I was thinking of a species only tank

 

[fedukeford]

If you want to do a species only tank how about doing dwarf lions? or frogfish?

that might be cool, but i still like the HT, but i wouldn't want to keep one in a small tank

Im not saying this is right but according to Marine Fishes by Scott Michaels a harquin tusk can be kept in a 55 gallon so I think you would be ok. I've also heard that they Can Be Very Agressive.

Most web sites that I have looked at say that a HT can have minimum of 55-60 gallons.

they would be wrong,.... they just want to sell the fish

also harlequins are far from being very agressive they really are quite wussies
and can get bullied pretty easly
just watch for antaganistic (spelling) behavior
otherwise they do well

I might want an angel instead of the HT

 

[wanabebell]

depending on what angel the ht might be a better choice

angels can be tricky and the ht is hardier
