90 gallon mixed reef stock list

[sneeyatch]

Hey everyone - I'm going to be setting up a 90 gallon mixed reef and would appreciate you guys letting me know your thoughts:

1.) Rock Beauty angel - I understand their requirements and know they are a more difficult fish to keep.
2.) Royal Gramma
3.) Perc pair
4.) maybe 2 or 3 longspine cardinals
5.) lawnmower blenny
6.) 6-line wrasse

I appreciate any comments - good or bad!

I have never owned a 6 line wrasse as I have always heard they become excessively aggressive. Other then that, your list looks great

 

[sneeyatch]

Thanks! I had a 6 line a long time ago and it had its moments where it would be a little belligerent but nothing major. Had it many years. I may switch the 6 line for a Hallichoerus wrasse but I love the colors of the 6 line.

One other thing. I am not familiar with the long spine cardinal, but most cardinals that I am familiar with, when you add more then two, they will normally find a pair between themselves and then kill the leftover

Really? I'll look in to that. Thanks for the heads up.

I too love the look of the 6-line but you'll be quite happy with the right hallichoerus. The tank is not too small for a juvenile Rock Beauty but an adult may outgrow it... unfortunately most don't make it to adult hood.

good luck
