beginning stock list

[reef tank 2.0]

135g DT

I am starting to gather my wants list and have a question.

right now i am looking at getting a couple Kauderns Cardinals, possibly a couple pajamas too.

a couple black/white clowns......

1. i was reading that you should only have one paired clownfish per tank. then when i speak to others, they say you can have as many clowns as youd like....size of tank depending. So I am really not sure what source I should pay close attention to.

2. I am looking for some reef friendly fish that are both blue and black in color. can any one give me some recommendations of fish with this coloring?

i will have soft corals later down the road

Bellus Angel would fit your black/blue and are reef safe

Yes, the female

A small blue tang would last a while in a tank that size. Doesn't get any more black and blue than that. They do get big, but a small one would last a while in there.

Powder blue tang as well - lighter blue in color, but does have the black face.

Both awesome fish.

thanks for the suggestions

i think this stock list is going to be rather difficult to create. so many fish, so little room, and all have to get along

Powder blues are pretty aggressive. Blue tangs have a reputation of being more easy going. The blue tangs I have kept were peaceful fish.
