Stocking List

[fernalfer]

Ok so far i have created a peaceful tank with a bunch of corals 2 snowflake clown fish, 2 Pajama Cardinal Fish, 1 Firefish and 1 Starry Bleeny.

Now i have a 120G with a lot of rock on one side and a lot less on other half for more free swimming area.

I want to maintain a peaceful tank so what would you guys suggest my next couple fish be?

I like fish that swim working the rocks just no Tangs. I also like wrasses but not sure which ones can be kept in my tank safely.

1. ?
2. ?
........Let me know what you think my next 2 should be and why.

Want list:
Melanarus Wrasse
Red or Yellow Coris Wrasse
Mandarin Goby
Royal Gramma
Diamond Watchmen Goby (Maybe)

do you think i can get all those on my list and if so what order would you stock them? Also please keep in mind that i want to maintain a peaceful tank so if their is any fish that you think should be taken off the list please explain why.

thanks

I just finished stocking my 120 with a similar setup. I went with a Yellow Coris Wrasse, Red Line Wrasse and Melenarus Wrasse. I have two clowns and a Lawnmower Blenny as well (plus a Kole Tang, which you said you'd avoid).

See the guide below for safe Wrasse combinations (by the resident Wrasse expert, Evolved). The jist of it is: Most Fairy, Flasher and Halichoeres wrasses can be kept together as long as it's not two males of the same species. For best results, get similar sizes and introduce together.

As for the rest of your list, it seems fine to me. Of course, wait until the tank is well established for the Mandarin. I don't know much about Royal Grammas.

Hawkfish (longnose, my favorite), goby, or dotty back/ basslet.

Love my orchid dottyback. Or you could do a black cap basslet.

i think my list of fish i want are these:

1 Dispar Anthias
2 Royal Gamma
3 Exquisite fairy Wrasse
4 a 2nd wrasse that can live peacefully with the Exquisite.
5 mandarin (Maybe)

I have all peaceful fish now and want to add peaceful fish and when it comes to the wrasse i want peaceful and ones that don't go after snails or shrimp.

any suggestions?

Also what order should these fish be added.

have you considered the yellow assesors from ORA?

I would be careful with the mandarin, you have a lot of completion on your list for consuming pods.

looking at the Yellow Assesor and like him. Maybe i'd rather go for the Assesor rather then the Royal Gramma.

Watching a pair of assesors dance in the actinic is lovely. Theyre shy but once comfy and living with peaceful tankmates will float all over even upside down along the rocks and surf the currents. Easily one of my fav fishes.

I love my malunaris wrasses.

do you have yellow or blue assesors. I have a firefish. wondering if the assesor and firefish are compatible.

 

[epon]

had them in the past, all are mixable with the yellows being a bit less shy and nocturnal than the blues ime
