Stocking Fish Question

[sandwi54]

Unfortunately, the 60" length is too short for the larger tangs and most large angels. I was under the impression that your tank was the standard 300g, 96"x30"x24", and that's why I suggested a large angel as the show piece.

The blonde naso is way too big for a 60" long tank. RC recommends a 120" long tank and I personally wouldn't keep it under 100". The tank is also too small for a powder blue long term. You won't be able to keep most large angels either as they all require a minimum of 96". You can still keep the smaller species of large angels, such as majestic, regal, and the chaetodontoplus genus. Please read this sticky for proper tank size for tangs. You should only keep the ones that require 5' of min length.

As others have indicated, please slow down. you are adding too many fish at one time. Your tank also needs to mature for at least 4-6 months before you add sensitive species like tangs or angels. Even though your tank may be cycled, it is not "matured." The water chemistry is still shifting constantly and that needs to stablize before sensitive species can be added.

Also, it doesn't seem like you quarantined your fish. I suggest you do that, or sooner or later you will run into disease issues. Please slow down and read more on this forum, especially the fish disease section.

I have kept tang in 120's before with no issue, i know the "rule" says to not keep them in such a small tank, but i plan to upgrade to a 600 gallon system when i buy the new house next year.

I have had this tank up for over a year now and it is pretty mature. All fish have been in QT for 8 weeks just FYI... I was more so asking initially about the issue of fighting between fish or if people had more ideas for fish. I added these fish to my tank last night after being in a buddys QT system, they were already bought just wanted to double check on the compatibility for fighting before adding them.

But thank you for the concern about my tank and the compatibility of the fish also! I have been in the hobby for years but mainly focused on the coral side of things. just now starting to get more into the fish as they have such great personalities!
