Fish suggestions

[bif24701]

I have a 75 gallon display and 40 breeder sump. Plan for mixed reef. I want a pair of locally breed special clowns and an RBT. What are some other companions to consider?

Get a LawnMower Blenny!

They eat algae off rocks and glass. They also have an amazing personality.
I've had mine for about a month, he likes to bunny hop on the sand, and they will
swim sideways on rocks. Which I find really cute. He will also stare at you with his mouth wide open when you approach the tank xD

I could watch one for hours.

That is a great suggestion! I had one of these guys when I had my 120 in Arizona. What else?

Im a fan of anything that can be kept in pairs or harems.

Harem of yellow Coris Wrasse.
Pair of basslets of some kind. . . Chalk, Swissguard, assessors,
13-15 Red Spot Glass Cardinals
3-5 Eviota Gobies
3 or so Clown Gobies
Pistol/Gobie Pair

I would do a Longnose Hawkfish.

If you want ideas, check out the group in my signature, I have a similar tank size. I also have a yellow clown goby in quarantine that will be going in next. It's as peaceful a group as it gets.

13-15 Red Spot Glass Cardinals

This would be fun in my opinion!

Flame angel. Every tank needs a red/orange fish.

I heard flames can attack other tank mates? They sure are colorful!

A school of Red spot glass cardinals would be cool!

Yellow tang.

 

[bif24701]

Yea, I think I'm going to have to get one of those too. My wife and kids love them.

What about anthias? How well would they do in a 75?

I have 3 lyretails in an 80. They are doing fine. The male is a tad agressive but don't think that is uncommon. He kind of winds up before he darts at a fish (think King Hippo in Mike Tyson's Punchout) so the other fish can easily avoid him. There are other Anthias that have a smaller recommended tank size than the Lyretail. Just be ready to feed 3 xs daily.

I would avoid the tang.

You could get a tomini tang.
