Fish suggestions for a 210

[Googlymoogly]

I'm going to be setting up a 210. Debating on what of fish to get. Currently I have a 93 cube setup with a yellow tang, 2 clown fish and melanrus wrasse. These 4 fish will go in the new 210 when its ready. They I have to start getting more fish. I want a blue hippo tang for sure so that will probably be my next fish other than that I'm not sure what to get.... Possibly a reef safe trigger?

It will be a mixed reef tank so I need reef safe fish. I do like tangs and would be open to other kinds if they will be safe together in a 210.

Throw me some suggestions!

I have always loved my Foxface Spot, mine is in fully mixed reef with a Sailfin, scopas, khole Tang and a baby blue hippo with no issues. If anything it's a complete chicken and runs from all aggression. Fish learn to leave it alone after a while as it has venomous spines in it's back.

Instead of suggesting a fish I'm suggesting you spend a little time looking through some of our sponsor pages - there are so many fish available now, you might find a gem where others see dross.

Unusual doesn't have to mean rare or expensive - look around, find what you like.

HTH

Blacktip reef shark LOL LOL LOL

with a 210.... i would make put quite a few tangs in there, Naso, Blue Hippo, Vlamingii, Powder Blue, Orangeshoulder.

I have a 6ft 180... I have a Blue Hippo, Vlamingii, two Yellows, ClownTang (and YES! the ClownTang has survived the 6mos mark which is hard as heck to do)

MAJOR TIP: with alot of Tangs, two things are sure to make them sick, 1) salinity swing, 2) temp swings. You control salinity and temp and you should have no problems having a tang live 5+ years

If you like tangs : Purple, Naso, PowderBlue, Sailfin ect... have a variety body shapes, sizes. After all it is a reef so make it natural at long at they will get along and healthy. Have fun

I was orginally told you can only have 1 of each body shape... But maybe thats for smaller tanks. I do like purple tangs so I can get a purple with my yellow and it should be ok?
