75 gallon reef...help me pick a couple more fish

[Wolf74]

Hey everyone,

As it says in the subject line I would like to add a couple more fish to my 75 gallon standard reef tank. The reef currently houses mainly LPS and softies (ex. frogspawn, favia, open brain, zoanthids) for corals. The fish that are currently in the tank include a six line wrasse, bi-color blenny and a tomato clown that hosts the frogspawn. Anyway I was looking for some suggestions of what fish might go well in a tank like this. I was looking at the yellow eye Kole Tang and maybe a coral beauty but i'm not sure if i'm comfotable with the whole hit or miss with the angel.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

The tang is a nice choice. The Royal Gramma is one of my favorite fish, just brilliantly colored.

I have a pygmy angel, in my 75 he is a model fish. My favorite fish is my blue accessor bassalet. I dont really see many in tanks and he is peacful and cool looking. Plus some swim upside down. Mine dosnt though ( i wish he would).

Thanks for the options. I like the royal gramma too but the coloring reminds of a bit of my bicolor just a lot more vibrant. Plus I had a bad experience with one before so don't really want to go that route. The assessor looks nice but I don't think i've ever seen one in the LFS.

Think I might pick up my tang tonight after work and would really like to get another fish too so if anyone has any other ideas please let me know otherwise i'll see what the store has and go from there.
Thanks again

Just thought of something...would a fairy wrasse get along with a six line? Just trying to think of some ideas and I love the colors on some of the fairies.
Thanks

I've read several posts about six line wrasses killing expensive fairy wrasses. I would do a little more research before geting a fairy wrasse

your sixline would probably kill any fairy wrasse or royal gramma you put in there. i think your best bet is to get the kole tang. if you want another fish, why don't you try getting a partner for your tomato clown? (get a really small one)

 

[Wolf74]

Alright I will stay away from any other wrasse for my tank. I would love to find another tomato to make a pair, mine is only a little over an inch itself so finding a smaller one might not be possible.

I'll probably just stick with getting the tang for now. I was worried about putting only one fish in (after the quarentine) cause of aggression issues. Thought if I put two fish the aggression would be spread out a little bit instead of towards just one new fish?
Thanks again everyone

your other fish will not be aggressive towards the tang. i would have no worries putting the tang in there.

How's the color on the blue assessor? There are no decent pictures online. I was thinking about getting one until I read a post where a guy said that with his black background it was practically invisible. I have a black background.
