[cubanreef22]

Hey everyone just wanted to see if anyone had some good suggestions for some more fish to add to my 1200 gallon. It only has like 35 fish and i do extensive research before i add anything but i just wanted to see if anyone had some suggestions

Any suggestions are valid, and thank you

What are the 35 fish? We need a stock list before we go making a bunch of redundant suggestions.

Would love to see pics of the tank, also what equipment do you use to keep that huge tank going.

 

[cubanreef22]

No big angels? I'd throw a show size Annularis or Maculosous Angel in the mix for sure. A cowfish would be great too. They are often way to big for the average aquarium, but I see opportunity here.

My head is swimming with ideas, but these come to mind first.

 

[cubanreef22]

yes a big angel is certainly in mind but they will be the last ones added


Forgot to add the:
2 naso tangs
2clarki clowns
2 saddleback clowns
3 foxfaces

A powder blue tang, a hippo tang, 3 flame angels, a black tang. a longnose hawkfish, a Harlequin tuskfish, a dwarf lionfish, a copperband butterflyfish.

Can't wait to see pics ofthis beast!

I'd throw a big angel in there as well and you might as well add the gem tang that is for sale on reef 2 reef

 

[d-man]

wrasses!. Anthias (big shoal)

 

[Vince272992]

Get some angels, lamarks, flame, bellus, a grop of the bellus or lamarks and a pair or single flame would look amazing

i love the powderblues but they have to be very healthy and eating with no signs of ick.....I would buy them but my lfs dont have very good luck with them

The hippo tang is definatly on the way

I like the hawkfish idea

The others on the list are not reef safe/ invert safe

 

[cubanreef22]

sorry i forgot the pics....was very tired

 

[cubanreef22]

anthias and wrasses are the next flood of fish i plan to add but i need some specific suggestion....

Try a powder blue from Diver's Den.

I really like the hawkfish, but it can be a problem if you have shrimp. I don't know if they can stay away from it in a tank as big as yours.

Any of the flasher or fairy wrasses would be good for a reef. I also like the lyretail anthias in terms of a nice schooling fish

I wish I had tank that big! I'd love to see a big group of yellow pyramid butterfies, big group of mixed chromis, greens, blues, sunshines, ect ,and, lots of anthias to get that surface action. Yellow 'coris' wrasses, irident wrasses, green wrasses, checkered wrasses. LOL! Personally, I love to see LOTS of little fish with just a few big ones mixed in. Can't wait to see pics!
