120g Stocking List

[ShipWreck2]

So I am upgrading from a 65g to a 120g and wanted to move towards "little" fish. I have come up with a list of fish I would like to keep. It will be a 120 display but will have 200g of sump/fug supporting it as well.

3-4 - Anthias - ? Type (Like Ventralis) Any suggestions?
2x - Purple Firefish - Nemateleotris decora
1x - Green Clown Goby Gobiodon atrangulatus
2x - Citron goby Gobiodon citrinus
1x - Black cap basslet Gramma melacara
1x - mandarin Goby Synchiropus splendidus
1x - red scooter blenny Synchiropus stellatus
1x - sunrise dottyback Pseudochromis flavivertix
1x - pearly jawfish - Opistognathus aurifrons
1x - Exquisite Fairy Wrasse - Cirrhilabrus exquisitus
1x - Female Bellus Angel Genicanthus bellus
1x - Pyramid butterfly Hemitauricthys polylepis
2x - Glass cardinal fish Apogon leptacanthus
2x - PipeFish (To be determined) Any Suggestions?

Let me know what you think. See any issues between species? Or have any suggestions, additons changes? Thanks.

Is it going to be a reef or FOWLR?
Either way, I'd be a little worried about the dottyback, a p. fridmani might work out, but even my fridmani might take exception to the wrasse & basslet.

i thi8nk the ventralis would be a bad idea- very very difficult fish. if you wanna go with anthias, i suggest bartletts- much hardier. ALso, pipefish would last long with so much competition, they need a dedicated tank.

It is going to be a reef tank. A friend of mine had a sunrise dottyback without issue in his tank but also didn't have a wrasse. However on the P. Fidmani if found the following statement in a ReefKeeping (Feb-02) article referencing the sunrise. "Its behavior is very similar to the Orchid dottyback, except it has been reported to hunt down mantis shrimps"

I have always used orchid dottyback as the common name for the fridmani. I have had two great fish, ... but may eat shrimp. I have not witnessed it, but three shrimp, 2 peppermints and a blood/fire shrimp are no more?
