Banana Wrasse (or some other wrasse)
2 Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp


Do you see any issues?

Thanks :celeb2:

What do you mean by "blue tang"? Do you mean Acanthurus leucosternon (powder blue) or Paracanthurus hepatus (blue palette)?

blue tang is Dory from finding nemo and powder blue tang is well a powder blue tang.

I don't see any issues, you could actually add a tang or two more imo

Careful with the wrasses, you can run into some compatibility issues. Research before you buy them.

Sounds like a nice list.

Hello, yes I mean the Paracanthurus hepatus. They're known commonly as Blue Tang here in Australia, but I see most people refer to it as Hippo Tang on these forums...

Thanks for the comments... !!

If anyone else has some thoughts, let me know

Tang and Wrasses can be little tricky in added to the tank.

I don't think it's to many fish. I've never owned a marine betta but I was always of the impression they'll eat ornamental shrimp. That'd be my only worry.

You'll also want to add the CBB sooner than later in that progression. The more peaceful the tank the more likely it'll take to feeding. Be better to get it in before you add that purple tang in particular.

Hello, I was planning on adding the CBB next and the tangs as the very last fish to avoid the aggression.

My friend wants to give me the CBB and it's already eating which is good... but... I'm a little torn on whether to take it or not as his tank has had ich in the past.

See this thread - http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2004022.

Any thoughts? Thanks
