Stocking Suggestions/Advice

[newbcube]

I have a 75 gal display with a 20 gal sump, 80 lbs of sand, 80 lbs of rock, no skimmer( being cheap to start since low bioload). I currently have 2 black ice clowns (about an inch long). and 3 blue/green chromis.

My current stocking thoughts in no particular order:

royal gramma
bengai cradinal
diamond watchman goby
coral beauty
flame angel
carpenters flasher wrasse

Is this too many fish for my tank? Also, what would be a good order to add the rest in. Not in a hurry for anything, just like to plan ahead.

Thanks!

I would not recommend during both Dwarf Angels. I would do only 1. I would add a Midas Blenny.

Agreed only one of the angels and neither if this is a Reef tank. I would try to keep the number of the listed fish at 9 max

i have coral beauty and flame in a 265 with a pair of bellus angels. thos 2 will fight ina 75, probably to the death. in my 265 the coral beauty is the boss and will flash and chase at times the male bellus and flame angel. so i would try it in a smaller tank.

Thanks everyone! It is currently a FOWLR with the intention of going reef eventually so maybe I will forego the angels. I just really like the color on the flame angels and the fiance really likes the coral beauty.

None of these fish gets too big for the tank. None are aggressive. I would not recommend two dwarf angels. The carpenters wrasse is a great fish and so are the cardinals. You might think of a fire fish or a blenny.

You may find yourself down to 1 chromis as they have a tendency to fight and kill each other till only one remains.

Yeah I know the chromis don't get along long term. They were just cheap to try after my cycle was complete to test to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. I do like the look of the purple firefish!
