wanting to add fish

[motojoe1988]

So I have a 4ft 60 gallon tank. So far the tank mates are
(1) 2inch blue tang
(2) paired occ clowns
1 pistol shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp
Had a ywg but havent seen him in over 2 week and no ammonia spikes?
So im looking for some reef safe fish. So heres my list let me know if I will have any conflicting issues with the fish list and real mates.
My tank has become a all bta tank with 1 sps and 2 plate montipora plates.
Fish list is
1 bicolor bleeny
1 midas bleeny
1 tail spot bleeny
1 diamond watchman goby
1 redhead goby
Maybe some suggestuons? Schooling fish? Fush that are active with personality?
Is there another fish like dottybacks that I may possibly be able to add aswell?
Or any fish u recommend? Please help as I'm looking to place an order soon. I do have a dsb of 4inch and open swim area with 3 seperate rock piles to accomodate for the fish.Thanks in advance!

Or if I should get maybe 2 of a certain fish already mentioned. Any experiences with these fish? I do have a screen top. Just need to throw it back on from the last time I did maintenence on the tank.

I'm curious as to what problems People have with Angels and wrasses to the fish in my to he added list and any concerns to a all anemone tank?

 

[Redhaloangel]

well i am a newbie, but i have a flame angel and that cleaner wrasse together and the cleaner wrasse is left alone and he will clean off of the other fish..

and i have seen cleaner wrasses and mystery wrasses together in a tank with a couple bubble tip anemones.. and in my tank i have a long tenticle anemone, and i havnt seen any problems.. and i am hoping to add a mystery wrasse to my tank.. ( i cant add too many more fish i allready have 5 in there and my tank is 75 gallons..)

Cant claim to be an expert but from everything I've read that tank is far too small for a blue tang. If its a powder blue or a pacific blue it needs at least 125g tank.

....probably would have been a good idea to mention that in the 1st post then. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned sooner. It should have been. 90% of the time, the OP doesn't have a clue that its a mistake.

IME other wrasses are pretty accepting of cleaner wrasses just due to their cleaning behavior. Most fish Iv'e seen love to get cleaned. When I added a cleaner to my tank with a pre established solorensis wrasse and leopard there was no aggression whatsoever, and the solorensis is usually not too welcoming to any newcomers to the tank.

Please don't get a cleaner wrasse. (1) They may not eat what you feed; (2) even if they do eat, they can harass tank mates trying to clean them and (3) they should remain on the reef doing their jobs.

As to your other choices and other suggestions above, you should pick one of those blennies to avoid bickering. Same may pertain to the gobies. Then you could add 1-3 flasher wrasses or maybe chalk bass (if you'd prefer something blue) to get some movement in your tank. Mystery wrasses are nice, but they won't get along with your four-line (same family). They can get kind of nasty in the long term anyway.

BTW, fish won't "school" in home aquariums. As I said, you could keep two or three wrasses without a problem, but be sure to put a top on your tank because they will jump. Only a matter of time.

 

[Redhaloangel]

yes i have a top.. i seen fish jump.. lol

my cleaner wrasse eats all the food i put in, i guess im lucky.. lol

 

[motojoe1988]

So only pick one of the bleenies. Do wrasse get aggressive towards clowns? I have no problem pouring my screen top back on.what about a couple gobies? Would they be fine together? Any other fish that are reef safe? Its a all bta tank
