I'm wanting a White Tail Bristletooth Tang, A Trio of Banghaii Cardinals, & a pair of firefish?Could...Well...Should I?


Your advice is much appreciated,

I can't see why not. That's a big tank and a small bio-load.

I would agree that you could add more assuming that you have a sufficient amount of liverock, live sand or bioballs to take care of the ammonia and nitrites.

Tank Has appx. 100lbs of Live Rock, about to add 30-40 lbs more.Tank was started with live sand, don't have to much of a nutrient level at all.

I appreciate the advice guys.

I think you can add more fish as your 115 gallon tank is roomy enough for a dozen well-chosen fish. You may have a problem with your scopas if you add another tang.

That wold be fine

 

[Reef264]

Sounds like I've got a plan then.Im not sure if my scopas is aggressive, jumpy, or Skiddish?Hard to tell.He acts pretty neutral towards everybody, even at feeding time.Im not sure on another tang yet.Still tossing it around in the old thought box.

Trio of bangaii cardinals are most likely going to be a problem. Find a bonded pair. The third one may very likely get killed off by a pair that forms.

Otherwise it looks good.

 

[Reef264]

Thanks for the tip!It was between set of 3 or 5, and I dont know how 5 would turn out...

P.S. what happened to the 125?

white tail bristletooth tang.

white tail bristletooth tang.

I was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get one? having a hard time finding one. checked with my lfs and online and i can't find one anywhere. would really love to have one.

 

[Reef264]

Man I can't find one either...If I find any I'll be sure to let you know.

I would certainly add more fish. Watch a trio of cardinals! One will likely be killed when a pair forms.
