Tang, angel, butterfly stocking list

[ladyshark]

OK, have done some more research and wanted to know what y'all thought about this stocking list for a 125 gal FOWLR (but not corals)

Zebra Eel (already in tank--doing v. well)
Majestic Angel (already in tank--doing v. well)
2 Chromis, 2 two spotted damsels--can stay or will go in my 75 g

Want to add:

Purple Tang or Brown Powder Tang
Copperband Butterfly or other butterfly, but CBB is favorite
Flame Dwarf Angel

I am reading that the Brown Powder can be hard to keep, also the Copperband is hard to get feeding?

And, is the purple tang to stressful for the Majestic (shy girl) or a Copperband?

Tank is now about 4-5 months old and parameters are stable. I would add each additional fish after 6 weeks QT.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

THANKS!

I would think that list would be ok. I would add the tang last. It may chase some of the other fish around like the angel so you may want to look at some other tangs so its not a problem. Once you get them through QT the tang should be ok, and the copperbands are hit and miss, but thats usually why I recommend getting them at a LFS so you can see how they look and if they are eating. Thats just my opinion though.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Well I find Copperbands can be difficult and powder browns as well. Maybe try hardier butterfly and tang. I have an angel, butterfly, and tang living very happily together. The butterfly and tang that I have are easier to keep then the ones you are looking at. Hope this gives some help. Good luck. Here are some pics of the three. Regards, Tim

Georgius fish--I think I saw these pics when you were writing about your butterfly--a Tinker, I think?

Thanks for feedback
