Hello Everyone,
I am looking for some unique stocking suggestions for my custom 67g 36x24 aquarium. Im looking possibly a tang then some more additional smaller fish

Hawaiin Cleaner Wrasse

That tank is too small for a tang. You might try a dwarf angel instead. Cleaner wrasses are a difficult fish and often best left in the ocean. Try a neon goby if you want a cleaner fish. Good luck. Sounds like a pretty tank. Most of the fish in my signature could go in your tank and I'm pretty wild about all of them.

I agree with small alien.

I agree with the tang and cleaner comments. How about a fathead anthias? Very pretty, and don't need as much swimming space as most anthias.

Peter, why do you suppose LA has a minimum tank size of 100 gallons for fatheads? They seem like they'd do fine with less space.

Huh... no idea... I've never seen their recommendation for that fish. I've seen them get large, but still nothing to suggest the need for such a large tank size, IMO. Perhaps they use a standard formula for anthias (max fish size to tank size ratio), not factoring in the actual species?

They are real beauties and seem like a cool choice for this tank.

Thanks for the comments. The cleaner wrasse I have eats frozen and flake food, so hopefully he will last a while. The only tang I was thinking about was a small Kole tang, Scopas or possibly Mimic.

Im thinking right now about getting a leopard wrasse and Mystery wrasse in the future.

Mystery would be better for a feistier tank, leopard for a mellower one, in general. Both are very beautiful.
