Stocklist for 125g

[ThunderTang]

Well I'm upgrading to a 125g soon and I thought maybe you guys could help me with some suggestions. Right now I have in my 30g is:

a pair of B&W clowns
Watchmen goby
Halfblack angel

And I was thinking once i get the 125 set up maybe adding:

Naso Tang
Yellow Tang
Purple Tang
Kole tang
2 green chromis
2 pajama cardinals to replace the one i lost
1-2 Anthias
Large Angel
Longnose Butterfly
Mandarin
Dog face puffer (already have in dad's 75g sump but not sure if to do since my clowns will be in the tank with the puffer)

There Fish are not set in stone besides the cardinals and the fish in my 30g. I'm open to all suggestions.

naso tang will get too big for your tank.
What large angel were you thinking of adding?

 

[ThunderTang]

Naso is out then, and i was thinking maybe a Passer, Bluegirdled or a Annularis angel fish depending if they'll mess with my dwarf angel

If you want a reef do not add the dog faced puffer they will eat cuc plus they produce alot of waste.

This seems like a lot of fish for a 125. I like the fish on your list but I would reduce the overall number. I think 3 larger tang or angel type fish is the max I could see being happy in a 125. If it were me I would do less. Just my $.02

 

[b2d2t]

blue girdled sounds good but i agree to you possibly cutting down the numbers. also i dont think they would mess with ur dwarfs

 

[ThunderTang]

Thanks guys, Some of these fish in the list I probably may not get beside the ones i really want plus i don't plan on going reef until my dad goes reef again. That's a relief i really like blue girdleds, I'm not going to get the Chromis,Anthias or my dog face puffer I have in my dad's sump because I think he may eat my two clowns. Still open to suggestions!

wouldnt the yellow and purple tang fit? they are the same species i beleive. i think you should look for a rareish tang. ill go look at LA and try to make a list of cool fish for you.

 

[ThunderTang]

Good point i think they do and thanks for taking time out of your day to do that for me.

Im not too good with planning stocking lists in advanced so what i usually end up doing is saying "oh i like that fish lets buy it". that is how i stock my tank, but i also know some info about each fish that i buy, if i know no info on a fish, i pass it. this is just a list of fish i find visually pleasing. im fairly sure even if the tank was dry and all the fish were dead, these fish wont fit in your tank.

 

[ThunderTang]

Lol that's what i do in a store. Thanks again, I may not beable to go the dwarves because i already have one. I think I know what fish i'm going to get now and when the tank gets set up i'm going to need to find a cheap Blue Girdled Angelfish.

 

[palmer373]

haha great minds think alike! yah i forgot to mention that, i was sceptical about you adding more dwarfs cause they all seem to be the same species and im fairly sure they will fight. good luck anyways.

 

[ThunderTang]

Thanks, I hope it gets set up June 23 or a couple days after it. When it does get set up i'll try to use my crappy camera or my mom's camera.

palmer373 were all those fish you listed above , fish that you think could fit in a 125? or is the little paragraph at the bottom of the list about the fish with stars on them?

 

[lisafoster]

I guess I spoke to soon

If you want a reef do not add the dog faced puffer they will eat cuc plus they produce alot of waste.

 

[ThunderTang]

heh, sorry about that but i'm still debating, going over, revising and deleting fish off of a list i made. I'd really like my Dog puffer but i'm not sure if he would attack my clowns. 1 more day until my birthday and then 3 days after that until my party and hopefully get my 2 pumps and heater.

the list is of the fish on LA that i like and find appleasing but may or may not be able to work in the 125. the ones with the astric (*) are the ones that get over 12 inches so they are out for sure, i just listed them cause they are cool fish. sorry for any confusion.
