need some fish ideas for our new 180

[amberb212]

Need some ideas on what to stock the tank with fish wise! Its going to be a full reef, so they must be reef safe! I don't want the norm fish, we want some different colorful fish! The only think certain is either a pair of onyx clowns or picasso clowns after that its fair game!


Thanks in advance!

i would say a trio of flame wrasses, radiant wrasse, bellus female angelfish,blackcap basslet,trio bartlett anthais , juvi chevron tang and a blue hippo

Awsome! Any one else have some ideas? Even if you only can think of 1! Also, keep in mind I like a lot of fish, with that being said, how many fish do you think I can keep with out it being over crowded?


Thanks in advance!

Tangs!

Tangs!

I'd recommend several tangs; hippo, yellow, sailfin, kole - they'll keep the tank picked clean of hair algae...a few wrasses like the Christmas and Yellow Coris Wrasse are nice. If you have Dory, you need Nemo - a pair of ocellaris clownfish are almost obligatory... maybe an orange spotted sand-sifting goby to keep the sand bed neat. And for impact, try a nice sized Magnificent Foxface Rabbitfish. Throw in a few firefish, 5-6 lyretail anthis for schooling, and you have a heck of an assortment of fish... JMHO.

Thanks! I was also thinking maybe 5 Bangii Cardnials, 1 male and 4 females! I like the idea of a couple tangs and I for sure want a school of fish! Anthias are awsome fish so I think ill go with a school of them! Would it be okay to have a school of anthias and cards?


Thanks in advance!
