75 fowlr
---snowflake eel
----powderblue tang

[hr]
maroon clown
this is at the bottom of my last post but I started a new one, what other combos would work
i already have the eel and want a colorful tank thanks guys

I'm not sure about the compatibility but I want to warn you that the powder blues aren't very hardy. They are prone to ick and other ailments.

i know about that i just want a colorful tank
so i have the eel now what should i get to go with him for a very colorful tank, i think the maroon clown would be good what else?

i say try a trigger a large angel or one of the hardier tangs like a hippo. Not much after that.

 

[scott270]

i dont think i want a trigger, i have the snowflake so that is a must but like i said i want some color in that 75 and some activity, I was going to go with an all aggressive tank but now i just want the eel and some other fish that will be active and very colorful, so now the maroon would be good but what else, come on everyone give me some options.

Go get a book! Your possibilities are too numerous for us to list, especially when we don't really know your preferences. A good species guide is the best way to decide as you can see what they all look like and get the stats on each one so you know if you and your tank can support them.
try the pocketguide to marine fish.
thats the one I've used to plan my tanks.
good Luck

for your size tank you could go with a purple or yellow tang they stay a bit smaller, are 2 of the hardier tangs, but both have some gret color to them.

 

[scott270]

want more color than just yellow or purple and the yellow is ick prone

 

[scott270]

i know those are ick prone but i just like the powderblue more than the yellow thank you for your suggestions

 

[scott270]

ok i think i have decided to go with my plan for the snowflake which i have then the maroon clown with gold stripes and for my third fish what do you think .......the powder blue or purple tang, or a harlequin tusk or lunar wrasse what do you think

SOmeone up above mentioned that the Hippo tang is a hardy fish. I have two Hippos, they are anything but hardy fish. THey are prone to every disease known to salt water fish, and I think mine have experienced these atleast once.

How about a dwarf angel like a flame, bicolor or coral beauty?
About the tangs: I have to agree that the hippo and yellows are ich prone. I've had them both and they both died from ich. Everything else survived. A hardy fish is the sailfin. Mine has gone through hell and back.
