Stocking List

[wells06]

My tank is currently cycling and I am trying to plan out the fish I am going to stock over the next year. the tank is 120 gallons, 48X24X24, oversized skimmer, and it is covered with mesh netting to prevent jumping. I am trying to keep a peaceful tank with lots of color. Let me know if you would change the stocking order any.

Here is what I am thinking and the stocking order

1. ocellaris clownfish
2. Blue/Green Reef Chromis
3. Firefish
4. Resplendent anthias - 3X
5. Carpenter's Wrasse
6. Yellow Wrasse (halichoeres chrysus)
7. Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse (cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus)
8. Barlett Anthia - 1 or 2
9. Yellow or Kole tang - leaning yellow since most other fish are red or orange
10. Flame Angelfish
11. Linespot Flasher Wrasse (parachellinus lineopunctatus)
12. Copperbanded Butterflyfish
13. Hooded Fairy Wrasse
14. Leopard Wrasse (6 month+ once tank & pods established)

Anyone see any issues with this fish combo?

I don't see any problem with the list. The wrasses might not like each other much in a smaller tank like that though...try to add the fairies and flashers all at once.

Butterflys are difficult to keep and feed.

I'm sure you already know anthias need to be fed several times a day... More=better. A net top to keep the wrasse in the tank is a must. Leopard wrasse are no walk in the park and with all the others I wouldn't do it
