Stocking my 220

[keefesn1]

I wanted to get feedback on my 220. Is it over stocked? I know there isn't an exact science to figuring this out and all of my levels are : all zero, PH 8.3.

1. Ocellaris Pair
2. Purple Tang
3. Flame Angel
4. Lemonpeel Angel
5. Yasha Goby
6. Magnificent Foxface
7. Marine Betta
8. Royal Gramma
9. Purple Firefish
10. Blue Devil Damsel
11. Leopard Wrasse
12. Blue Mandarin
13. Scribbled Pipefish
14. Copperband Butterfly
15. Blue Velvet Damsel
16. Achilles Tang
17. Regal Tang
18. Splendid Dottyback
19. Blue Jaw Trigger
20. Multicolor Angel


It seems like a lot of fish. But there are a few others I wanted to add. Am I done?

How do your Achilles and purple get along? I want an Achilles bad but I'm scared of him fighting with my purple. I have a 180g 48x36x24. And I'm not an expert but I have 17 in mine and don't think it is overcrowded. You only have a few more and have a bigger tank. Personally I would just ask myself if it looks overcrowded or how is your water quality doing with the fish u have now? And do they seem stressed cause there are too many.

My purple tang is a sweetheart. I took it from my boyfriends tank. I had one that was an absolute AHOLE and it kept killing everything. Lost two copperbands and a golden semilarvatus to it. I had too much and swapped it with his, hoping the demeanor would change. It didn't. So we yanked it from his tank and sold it on Craigslist for 70 bucks. I've had no problems since it left, so it truly is a different personality fish to fish.

Yeah I had mine in my tank for about a month then I added a blue hippo and he gave it a hard time for a day and then left the hippo alone after that. I got brave a few weeks later and added a yellow tang and no problems again. I want an Achilles so bad but I'm scared to loose one if they don't get along.

Yikes!

Seriously?!

Yes, really. That seems like seven large fish in a 220. I'm just trying to learn from those more knowledgeable than myself. I had a guy ask me the other day, how close I was and this was his profession. Teach me, is all I ask....

Bump. Anyone?
