65g What else to stock

[HiImSean]

I just picked up a 65g tank to upgrade from my 36g. It'll be a few months before I get everything together for it so I'm brainstorming on what to add in. The only fish moving over are my Onyx clown and melanarus wrasse. After the addition of my melanarus wrasse, I think I'd like to add a few more wrasses, maybe a flasher and/or fairy wrasse. I am going to add another clown to the tank, either picasso or snowflake. I was also thinking a pair of anthais. Any ideas or thoughts?

I'm thinking in a 65 that the melanurus would definitely have some aggression towards additional wrasses. I wouldn't personally add any more wrasses, but that being said Iv'e never personally had any Halichoeres wrasses.

Everything I've heard about melanarus are they are very peaceful, even towards other wrasses. I guess I'll let someone with first hand experience chime in.

I forgot to mention I don't want to risk adding a dwarf angel.

Hey man! Sounds just like my upgrade 37 to 65g. I know your loving the extra depth. Right now I have 2 clowns, 1 copperband, 1 vanderbuilt chromis and 1 firefish in my 65 and when they are all out, they really fill out the tank at all levels. I'd suggest a copperband but really it's so hit or miss with them they really shouldn't be in the hobby .

It's a nice upgrade for sure. My 36g was a corner tank, pretty much a 60g cube cut in half diagonally. I'd love a CBB but I don't have the experience or time (I travel a good bit for work) to make sure it takes to life in an aquarium.

You have a thread for your 65g? I love seeing other peoples setups but I don't see a lot at this size.
