recommendations for 7' deep tank

[pompeyjohn]

I have a 48x24x7 bare bottom tank that I am using to grow out zoas. Any swimmers you'd recommend? Thanks.

just to clarify seven INCHES deep. I hit the wrong key when posting, and now can't edit the title.

a sixline though a screen top would be a good idea.
couple of cardinals.

sixline wrasse would cruize that tank cleaning out pest all day long.

 

[pompeyjohn]

I think I'll go for the sixline.

A sixline will then limit all other additions IMO. Get something less aggressive, like a possum wrasse.

:lol: Read the title and thought, 'here is another nut with a room-sized tank'. Makes me crazy when I have a typo in a post title and then can't fix it!

I would get a couple of sharks, maybe a dolphin. That would go well!

Just kidding and I thought the same too You could get a pair of Swales Swissguard Basslets I think, they are nice looking too

I have a 6 line you can have for free if that's what you want. I'm in Greensboro.

Ok, it is settled then. First, a sixline. Then I'll add a pair of swales swissguard basslets. A week later I'll add the mandarin and hippo tang. Joking aside, I wish a kole would be happy in such a shallow tank. Probably best to get some cardinals, and then a sixline. I have never been able to keep multiples of chromis.

Thanks buddy - that is very kind. I am travelling east and south for the next week with work. If I can swing over your way I'll give you a shout.

Nope. Bad move. If anything, add it last, if at all.

Consider trading in that sixline for a yellow coris...

They eat pests, and you can add other fish later if need be...

Sorry, I guess the sarcasm didn't cross over. I wouldn't put the sixline in first, or add a pair of swales swissguard basslets, a mandarin and hippo tang. Apologies for any confusion.

A melunarus wrasse would be a good addition IMO. They eat all kinds of baddies and are beautiful fish. I've also heard very little of them being aggressive.
