Need opinions for stocking 100 gal fowlr

[will0417]

Hello, I need some ideas to stock my 100 gallon fowlr.

I would really prefer to have a lot of movement in the tank.

I am open to all types of fish, but I would prefer low maintenance fish.

I don't want to feed more than once per day.

Thank you,

Have you looked into any wrasses? Great color and lots of movement

How many would you suggest? The tank is currently empty.

a pair of Flame angels, they are beautiful ang hearty...but you should try and feed twice a day...

There are so many to choose from. I would suggest going to live aquaria's site and browsing through them and come back to the forum with a list.

Which 100 gal do you have? The 72" or the 48"?

FWIW, most preds (such as lionfish, and other Scorpaeniformes) only require feeding 2-3x a week...

If you want a lot of movement and color you can't go wrong with a few types of dwarf angels and perhaps a few of the smaller anthias.

I had a potters, flame, and coral beauty in my 110 with my eels a few years ago and it was a great combo. You will have to watch for aggression, but if you're patient you can mix dwarf angels in largish tanks.

I'd say 5-7 Brazilian Flameback Angels......that'd be awesome!

Feeding once a day limits your options. IMO wrasses should be fed almost as much/often as anthias. My wrasses loved the more frequent small feedings compared to the once or twice a day. The multiple feedings allows you to vary the diet more, thus giving the fish the nutrition they need to thrive in our aquariums.

I'd look into some preds as namxas suggested as they don't need to be fed often. They are also tons of fun to watch with their individual personalities.

Why not just set up an auto feeder?

Do you want large or small fish?

Small - go small tangs, clowns, small angels, small butterflyfish, wrasses (if you don't want any shrimp), chromis, anthias
Large - Angels, larger tangs, lion fish, butterflyfish

His tank will not be able to keep most large angels, any larger tangs, and may be a little small for some of the larger butterfly species.
