Hows my fish list.

[RealReef7]

Am I overstocked?

-Small yellow tang 3-1/2"
-Small purple tang 3"
-Coral Beauty
-Coris wrasse
-Watchmen goby
-Flame hawk
-2 damsels

Can I add anything els? I would really like a juvi harlequin tusk and watch it grow.. any suggestions?

Tank size would be of great help.

My bad its a 120g.

 

[palmer373]

seems ok to me.

not bad but why the damsels as they are a pita usually so i would leave them off the list myself but the rest looks good .
i myself would spend another 25% on each fish and possably get something like it but the more unusuall specimines as your list is somewhat basic .
the tusk yessss imo try to find one 1"-2" and you can keep him for a couple of years then sell him when he gets 5" or so and you will triple your money .
do you plan on any corals because the coral beauty may be a problem .

id say you can add a quite abit more due to the size of most of your fish. In my 150 i plan on having 13-20 fish alot are smaller fish tho. Only having 3 fish that get large.

I have softy/lps dominated tank. The coral beauty hasn't touched a coral yet ever since I got him last year *knock on wood*. As far as the tusk fish I'm gonna move him to a bigger tank later when I make up my mind on a 500g glass or acrylic not sure which one yet, but im in no rush. Oh and those are all the fish I currently have.. sorry for any confusion. 1"-2"... isnt that too small or fragile?

Is it a 4' or 5' 120? What species of Coris wrasse? Some get very large.

If it's a 4' tank, IMO it is not big enough for a full grown HT. Will be okay for growout for a while. Glad you are planning to upgrade.

It is very difficult to find small tusks, and I don't think their survival is great. I ordered a 1-2" tusk from blue zoo and they called and told me it died before they could ship. About 7 years ago, I bought a 2" one, and it didn't make it. They aren't easy to find, but look hard for a 3-4" tusk.

Stocking to the 'current size of the fish' is not the way to go. You need to consider the full grown size of each of your fish and THEN decide if you have enough room. I think you will run into problems with the yellow tang and purple tang together in such a small tank sooner rather than later.

The yellow tang and purple tang have been together for 2 years. I got them tiny. As for the coris wrasse its a yellow coris wrasse.
