PLEASE check out your intended fish purchases here first!

[Genera]

Thank you! I also just realized that M. triangulatus and aurolineatus are generally solitary, so I might try one of each. Along with the rest of the fish. I might make another list later and see if it's any better. I do have way too much rockwork, so there should be enough space for either fish.

Ok, for my 80g how about:

x1-Tobacco Bass
x3-Blue Chromis
to start

And Possibly:
x3-Ignitus Anthias/Lyretail/Sunburst. (I guess if any would be compatible, my brother had them in a 100, and said 1 male for a few females)

chromis will reduce their number over time to 1; also you had best have a rigorous quarantine protocol as they are highly susceptible to uronema marinum
And Possibly:
x3-Ignitus Anthias/Lyretail/Sunburst. (I guess if any would be compatible, my brother had them in a 100, and said 1 male for a few females)

a group of anthias should have a larger tank; also note that anthias require multiple feedings per day for long term success

Thanks again!

I can always look to RC for advice.
