Reef Fish for my 400 gallon tank.

[Zoasman]

Guys, need some suggestions to stock my 400 gallon tank.

These are what I have:
10 flavoguttatus anthias
3 roseband wrasse
2 Naoko wrasse
3 Labout's wrasse
4 helfrichi
1 Marjorie wrasse
1 lineatus wrasse
1 mystery wrasse

I will be adding:
Flame wrasse trio
Rhomboid wrasse trio
2 Achilles tangs
1 lineatus female
Bellus Angel trio

Please give me some suggestions......

A 400 hundred is not big enough for 2 Achilles. I would rethink another tang to replace one of them.

I tried a dozen of Flavoguttatus Anthias before they are nice but its hard to maintain a healthy school I feed 6-8 times a day I still can't keep it alive more than 6 months. How long did you have yours

2 Achilles can work if you qt it for at least 3 months and run big uv or ozone reactor.

Male naoko are mean they might chase each other to death

Rhomboid
Still having issues with diver bringing them up so quickly most will likely to die from swimming bladder

Also why not add more female lineatus instead ?

2 Achilles will fight like WWIII in a 400, I had 2 in a 450 and had to remove one and I also know a fellow reefer that had 2 in his 650 and had the same problem. Not gonna work in a 400, save the time, hassle and possibly one Achilles life.

I don't know about that
Some people have multiple Achilles in their tank without issue

Geaux man have 2 in 180
Introduce on different times but he did a proper social acclimation.


If he want to have 2 Achilles I really suggest to get 2 different size .

I have my Achilles in my tank for a while and I still introduce a very aggressive large purple from somebody tank. Spar for a little bit turn off the lights next day they are fine.

Tonight I will introduce a smaller powder blue tang using social acclimation box and leave it their until no aggression

None of that has anything to do with 2 achilles tangs, living long term in a tank together.

How long were they together?

Mine were in the tank for 2 months with a clear divider, they went after each other for about a month through the divider. I figured it calmed down enough and removed the divider. They were like magnets towards each other. One was about 5" the other 3 1/2". Left them for the day both were beat up after the day. Split them apart again waited 6 months to remove divider and the same thing happened. Left them for a week until they were both exhausted and tore up, figured they might have settled down after a week. Had to split them again,got them both healthy and sold the larger one.hadthe smaller one for nearly 12 years. The other guys tanks not 100% sure what they did.
