Breeding in a 75 gal

[just_kiddin]

My main goal is to breed the angels but could I breed these fish in a 75gal tank?

Passer Angel (3)
Bicolor Pygmy Angel (3)
Banner Cardinal (3)
Latezonatus Clownfish PAIR AUSTRALIA (pair)
Flaming Prawn Goby (3)
Yellow Rose Antenna Goby (3)

These are just for show fish

Blue Hippo Tang: Yellow Belly (1)
Tennenti Tang (1)
Black Tang/Yellow Tang (1)

Passers - no

Bicolors - migh spawning, but definitely won't rear in the tank

Banner Cardinals (Bangaiis?) - yes, should spawn and may even bee able to rear in-tank (rarely). 3 probably won't work - you'll ultimately probably only be able to have a pair. However, there is a LFS here that maintains a large GROUP in a 300 gallon + tidepool reef, so what do I know

Latezonatus - could probably spawn in the tank, but would need to be reared separately (BTW, can you send me a pair, they're on my MUST BREED list )

Flaming Prawn Gobies - would be FOOD for most other fish in the tank. NO WAY, don't waste the money unless you're going to give them their own little tank (like a 10 gallon)

Yellow Rose Gobies - who knows...

why cant the passers be breed? what if i put 5 in their plus clowns and cardinals.

Because passers need about a 200 gal. tank per fish. And then all the tail nipping and agression before a pair actually gets established. I would say atleast a 500 gal. tank to succesfully keep a spawning pair of passer angels. And they can get over a foot long on top of that. And if there breeding method is anything like dwarf angels they need a very tall tank.
I think you could have luck with any of the other species though.

Good luck.

I just think Grieslinger Goby (Flaming Prawn) with it's typical size of 0.5" will just get lost in the shuffle if not eaten.
