90g stock list?

[sappho]

I plan to upgrade from a 55g to a 90g in a few months when I move. I currently have:
Dogface Puffer (6in)
Engineer Goby (juvenile)
2 fighting conch
2 turbo snails

I want to get:
Yellow Coris Wrasse
Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse
Flame Hawkfish

I'm not concerned about my puffer eating anyone because she had several small tankmates before my tank crashed that she never bothered. I also have an algae scrubber maturing ATM so I'm not terribly concerned about bioload. Thoughts?

don't dogface puffers require larger tanks than a 90g? Unless you have a succession of upgrades planned it might be worth addressing that first. I have never kept one but I know they get big and LA states a 150g minimum.

Agreed. Rehome the puffer. Everything else is fine.

Fishbase lists the puffer at an eventual 13", so I agree that it won't work long term. A good replacement would be a valentini puffer, or something similar.

The rest is fine, as long as the yellow coris wrasse is Halichoeres chrysus.

Lots of room left still for: clowns, dwarf angels, blennies, gobies, etc. Let us know.

Sorry, forgot to add, Ill be moving again in a couple years or so and I intend to upgrade again when that happens. I know this sounds excessive but I am transferring universities and I am concerned about finding an apartment that will let to me. I'd love to go up to 150g but I can't see any landlord being cool with that, renter's insurance or no renter's insurance. Also after I graduate I intend to move far far away and I can't imagine how I'd manage to move such a beast hundreds of miles.

Get fish for the tank you have, not the tank you plan to have. Even from the time I bought my tank, it took me 14 months to setup and have running. Life gets in the way. Rehome the puffer, it still needs a bigger tank than a 150.

Indeed. Took the words right out of my mouth!
