Fish List Comments

[adova]

I am looking to start populating a new 180g. Here are some of the candidates and I was wanting to get some comments and an introduction order:

First Intro / QT

(2) - ORA Ocellaris Clowns
(3) - Royal Gramma

Second Intro / QT

(1) - Powder Blue Tang

Third Intro / QT

(1) - Purple Tang or Yellow Eye Kole Tang

Final Intro / QT

(3) - ORA - Orchid Pseudochromis

There will also be a couple of cleaner shrimp and some snails and tuxedo urchins.

Would the tank support a trio of Anthias as well as the second intro and move the rest down?

Thanks!

I dont see any problems with adding the anthias to that list

Yes the tank will support the Anthias... I would add the tangs together last

Great - and no problems with the multiples of psuedochomis or Grammas?

What is the golden rule for determining how many compatible fish a certain size tank will support. e.g. inches / gallons? Or something else?

This is tough to answer to say the least. Depends on how much rock and life support systems you have on the tank.

Gotcha - thanks again!

I would say maybe only problem is with psuedochomis and shrimp it could be a hit or miss

I will glue some tiny shivs for defense...
