Tank Stocklist

[mlf5135]

Hello. I just wanted some opinions on my stocklist for my 85 gallon tank. As of right now I have 2 small clownfish, asmall purple psuedo and a medum sized rusty angel. They have been in the tank together for probably about 7-8 months now. I am looking to add a med sized raccoon butterfly and a med sized blue hippo tang. I have plenty of rock work and room for them to swim as of now. I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether there is enough room in the tank or not and also if anyone had any other suggestions of fish that would go well in the tank with what I currently have.

Your tank really is not large enough for a blue hippo tang. The only tangs that would really be suited for your size tank or the kole/bristletooth/tomini tangs. The raccoon should be fine
Other fish to consider:
One spot Foxface lo
Blenny
Some wrasses
How about a small group of schooling fish? Anthias? Chromis? Cardinals?
I'm assuming this is fish only?

I'm assuming this is fish only?I don't agree with putting a foxface in here. They can reach 11" and they live to move. I have seen HUGE ones. I think one may be on the bare minimum side for a 120g. I think a 6' 125 is a good size for these guys. You could do a yellow eye kole as these are very pretty and peaceful.

Don't take this as really harsh, but where the heck do you get your info sometimes?
I specified a One Spot Foxface Lo (Siganus unimaculatus). They reach 7inches max, most only reach 6 in captivity, the same size as a Kole or similar Bristletooth tang.

I have heard different.

I have heard different.
Then you're being given bad info. Just research the fish for yourself.
And I've kept a few, as well as many fellow reefers in my club. The one spot fix face is one of the smaller ones.

Thanks for the back up and reassurance guys

fishbase has S. unimaculatus and S. vulpinus, the foxface, at 20cm (8") and 25cm (10") respectively. keep in mind that this is standard length, not total length. not sure on the dimensions of an 85. these are reasonably large fish, and i wouldn't recommend either species for anything short of a 4 foot tank. i feel like the original poster is long gone, however.
