Fish suggestions

[dmbedard]

Well, you guys know I am upgrading from 90 gal to 180 gal

I have:
8" male bird wrasse
7" hippo tang
2 x 3" cinnamon clownfish
7" foxface

in the 90.

They will all move to the 180 as soon as the system is fully filled & tested and the water temp & parameters are in sync.

Now I've started thinking that I could probably add a few fish... maybe school fish????

Suggestions?

I have always wanted a marine betta, and wondered what you think about compatibility. I know they are shy, and these fish are medium in aggression. I don't want it to get picked on, but they're all going to have a lot of room. Could you guys give me your opinions on whether this fish would be happy with the ones I have now?

Boy, I could spend all day scheming & planning for this move. Always patience... patience... patience.

Anyhow, I would appreciate any suggestions. Sorry about the lack of photos. My blackberry isn't emailing my photos to my computer, so I've got to wait until the hubby gets back from E coast to take some pics w/camera.

Water is 1/2 way filled in tank. Refugium is rocking. Plumbing is done for everything but sump, but parts are here. Just haven't taken the time.

Not sure about how to move the water from the 90 to the 180 and filling the sump and testing the plumbing... whew!

Ideas, suggestions are all appreciated.

My vote is for Anthias and Green Chromis. I agree completely with the schooling look. I believe it would be an AWESOME display in your 180.

I think Marine betta's get way too big for a 180.. I'd vote anthias.. Or, if you're adventurous, go for like 4 purple and 1 or 2 yellow tangs..

I love the anthia's! With I had a big enough tank to put a school of them. John has a great selection of them

That was EXACTLY what I was going to say!! I love the schooling fish!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am going to ck out anthias and go visit john as soon as the tank is running.

I meant one marine betta... not a school... anyone know about compatibility issues with them.

oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...

Do you want the yellow tang that came out of that tank?

Sure if you don't want him, I'll give him his old home back. LMK.
