FOWLR Suggestions for 75g

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

Just as the title says, what are you guys'/girls' ideas on what I should put in my almost empty 75g.

Right now I have:
4" Yellow Tang
14" Snowflake Moray Eel

TIA

Harliquen Tusk Wrasse

I remember when I first started up my 75 gal--I recieved advice from this site to stay with fish that will not grow bigger than 6-7 inches--Looking back now, I think that is very good advice.

I really love my foxface lo--there's a nice magnificent foxface at liveaquaria.com that I would love to get if I didn't already have a foxface. Clowns fit this size, also dwarf fuzzy lion (great fish!). Lemmonpeel angels are supposed to be beautiful. I think you would need to stay away from puffers, triggers and large angels.

My .02 worth of ideas....

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

I think both of you have great ideas. I would love to get another Tusk (other died apparently from not eating) but am afraid of their max. size.

I was thinking maybe this:

Yellow Tang
Snowflake Eel
Pair of Clowns w/ anemone
Bicolor Angel
Radiant Wrasse
Kole Tang
3-5 Reef Chromis

BTW - This is just a rough list, if you all think things wouldn't work out, it'll be shortened.

I heard that two clowns will fight over one anemone but I may be wrong.

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

By pair, I mean M/F. Probably Black Saddle Clowns.

A M/F pair <b>shouldn't</b> fight over an anemone.

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

Anyone else have any ideas?

Try a hardier butterflyfish (heni, coon, auriga..etc) Highly underrated group of pets

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

What about this?

Kole Tang
Snowflake Eel
Pair of Black Saddle Clowns w/ anemone
Bicolor Angel
Radiant Wrasse
Pair of Dot Dash Butterflies
3-5 Reef Chromis

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

Would that stocklist be ok?

 

[johno4]

I wouldnt bother with that many chromis they usually will kill each other until you only have 1 or 2. Other than that it seems fine, you might have issues with the yellow and kole tang in a 75. Yellows tend to not like new tankmates.

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

I was thinking of trading in the Yellow Tang for another fish on my list.

I have a radiant wrasse in a 75g. great little fish, but he is king of the entire 75g. I've seen him almost swim straight into a magnificent foxface. I love the guy and really I think he would be all over a much larger tank.

The same with a kole tang. I did have one before I had a huge outbreak of Brook and the entire stock (other than the radiant wrasse) died in the matter of 24 hours. He certainly was not as happy as he could have been in a 75. He constantly paced back and forth. I did not replace him with another one after the tank was fallow for the allotted time due to that reason.
