stocking list.

[Davidd2324]

Right now I have this in my 75G:

1 yellow tang
1 blue hippo tang (tiny) - he will be taken back to the LFS within the week.
3 blue/green Chromis
Onyx Clowns - haven't got them yet, hopefully I can get them from Rod.


I was wondering what else I should get ? I don't have tops so it cant be any jumpers.

I was thinking about Anthias, but I don't know if there jumpers or not ?

I would get at least six more chromis, they like to shoal.
anthias can jump, not the most prone to jumping in my book (that title goes to tilefish for me), but they can. I like bartletts, lyretail and stocky anthias all have done well for me.
dartfish are nice: bar gobies(darfish), firefish, scissortails all do well and bar gobies (dartfish) / scissortails shoal well.
A group of lubbocks fairy wrasse looks nice. They do well together, have multiple color variations and are colorful. It is hard to find females though.

any wrasse would eventually end up on the floor with an uncovered tank

My lubbocks have been in an uncovered tank for years with no issues. I do have a lot of structure though.

C. parasema are a more peaceful, cheap, and very colorful damsel. They could be added as a trio. if you have a well aged tank and plenty of liverock, some yellow tailed tamarin wrasses would be a gorgous addition. Get one male and 2 females. Same with leopard wrasses. They tend to hide in the sand, rather than jump. Royal gramma, orange spotted shrimo goby, a pair of captive bred banggaii cardinals would be nice, pygmy angels are a possibility, you really have quite a few options. Just be aware of the fact that any fish CAN jump, though some are more likely than others. Also, a pair of clown can become quite aggressive, when there are eggs about, so be watchful.

I have a dozen + yellowtail blue damsels in my 92, pretty, cheap, and no problems whatsover. They do not shoal however.

I have had many wrasses, to which none ended up on the floor.

The sixline and banana wrasse are good choices; although it seems I have had differing experiences than some others.
