fish for 65 gallon

[jon1985]

I recently setup a 65 gallon tank and I am trying to plan out a stock list. I would like lots of movement in the tank.

I currently have
-blue sided wrasse
-pair of skunk clowns
-ywg & pistol
-3 cleaner shrimp

I want to add
-mystery wrasse
-mcoskers or carpenter wrasse
-flame angel
-coral beauty angel (i know these 2 might fight but I plan to add them at the same time. If its an issue one will be removed)


I would like to fill in any space with small, colourful fish. Everything must be reef safe (coral and invert safe)

system
-roughly 100lbs of rock (doesnt look like 100lbs)
-5 gallon pail plumbed into system with 50lbs of rubble
-skimmer is rated for 100-150 gallons so water quality shouldnt be an issue.
-2 tlf reactors, 1 with gfo, 1 with carbon.


Thoughts? suggestions?

Beyond the 2 angels possibly fighting, they are not exactly reef safe and may nip at corals

I know there is a risk with the angels. I curently have the coral beauty in a frag system and he hasnt touched anything so he should be fine. But we will see what happens with the flame angel.

I am hoping by introducing them together to minimize fighting.

Mystery wrasses and fairy or flasher wrasses can be problematic.

hmmm ok, mystery wrasse will get replaced.

The mystery wrasse would eventually eat your shrimp too. Also, besides the general recommendation of one dwarf angel per tank, flame angels require mature systems which it does not sound like yours is yet.

IMO, I would only add the coral beauty and either a flasher mccorskers or carpenter wrasse. That way all the fish would have plenty of room in your tank, but you will have colorful, active fish.

the 65 itself is a fairly new setup but the rock was in my 120 for almost 2 years before I moved it into the 65. I have a blue haddoni in the tank that has been looking better and better since the move so I assume all the parameters are in check.
