too much fish in a 90 reef?

[rduong89]

a pair of true percs, a pair of purple tangs, ornate wrasse, sixline wrasse, twin spot hog,marine betta and red sea regal?

 

[Grouperhead]

Yes. I'd go with the percs, a sixline, scopas/kole tang, and maybe a couple of firefish and banggai cards. The tang could be your "centerpiece" and all the other fish would very peacefully coexisit.

I seams like alot of load, with the two Tangs, Betta and the Large Angel. I imagine, you'd have to get a really good skimmer and do alot of water changes for that load. But utimately, the Angel and 2 Tangs would be too much. JMO

The purple tangs will kill each other, they are really aggressive tangs, maybe the most aggressive tang of the zebrasoma genus. Regal angels are hard fish to keep and can be very picky eaters, I would only attempt one if you have experience with fish that are tricky to get eating. Marine Bettas get pretty big and I have heard that they can be tricky to get eating, but you may want to talk to someone who has owned one and see what they deal is. A single purple tang and a majestic angel might make a nice pair, just make sure to add the majestic first and give him a chance to settle in for a while before adding the tang.

well i have the asm3 skimmer running. Marine betta is a super tiny one that i've had since last year. The percs are new to the tank. The 2 purple tangs are doing great with each other. They would always swim with each other. The regal is my later addition to the tank. I know it hard to get it to eat but i am willing to risk it.

 

[rduong89]

its going to be a mixed reef with sps and lps.

Remove the 1 purple tang and maybe the marine betta or regal and you should be fine

I wouls certainly leave out a large angel. It will overstock your tank. If you want an angel look into a centropyge. 90g is not that big a tank.
I hope the PTs stay friendly. That will look really nice.

i really want the regal angel in the tank. I've seen some guy that won totm with a red sea regal in his 65 gallon tank. Looks nice but then i dont want the fish to be unhappy. the marine betta always hides unless it is feeding time. i suppose its not taking that much space. Purple tangs i know need the space to swim in the tank. The hog is a little one and max size is like 3in. The percs hang around in the bottom next to its anemone. Ornate and sixline travels around in search of worms to eat. i would like to add the regal in but since most of you guys say it's not wise i guess i want do so.....but ill see

Can we some pictures of everything. I think you have good fish list just take out maybe one of the purples and the regal. Yea i think the only thing that really needs to be removed is the regal because he will grow fast. But the purples should be ok for a while but sooner or later one is going to have to be removed because they might get territorial or just to big for the both of them to be in there.
