90gal reef fish

[Spikehs]

Hello,

Kinda a boring question (that I am sure is asked all the time) but I am looking to Stock my 90gal (36w x 30d x 20h) reef tank in the near future. This is what I am currently looking at adding

- 1 flame angel
- 2 banggai's
- 1 bicolor blenny


I want to get a goby/shrimp combo, having the goby sift sand at the same time (dont really want my sand for too much filtration, or asthetics than anything).. Is there one that doesn't cover corals/etc. all that much? or is kinda a crap shoot.

Wouldn't mind adding a trio of lrytail anthias, think this would work out?

Any other really unique looking fish that you would recommend as a "show piece" for the tank? thanks.

It all comes down to what inverts you are keeping. Some cool fishes aren't exactly safe with crustaceans. Flame angel would sometimes nip on corals if you are unlucky. Banggais have a bad surviving reputation due to eating problem. Make sure you ask the LFS to feed them and see them eat eagerly before you buy them. If you want a shrimp/goby combo make sure you get an established pair. If you buy them separately 9 our of 10 times they will NOT pair. Lyritail anthias share the same problem with cardinals, make sure they eat! If you ask I would recommend a female swallowtail angel. Sure they aren't cheap and easy to find but they are beautiful and very elegant.
