Above is a link to a scene in the movie Romeo & Juliet that shows one of the most beautiful fish only aquariums I have ever seen.
I am in the planning stage of getting a new tank that will measure 400 gallons 96"x30"x36"
Do you think those dimensions are bigger or smaller than the one seen in that film clip?
In that film clip I see about SEVEN Yellow Tangs together. And I also see a Purple Tang and a Regal Blue Hippo Tang. They all seem to be getting along fine in that scene. However I know that's a movie and maybe they would start fighting after a few days.
But do you think that many Tangs could live peacefully in a tank of the size I plan to get?
I am thinking maybe one big positive factor is that in the tank in the scene, there's not a lot of rock work, it's very minimal, which leaves much more open swimming spaces in the tank, and that's also how I want to do mine.
Also it looks like there's about 8 blue damsels or green chromis in that tank as well... is that a good idea, I heard they are the worst bullies?
And my favorite fish in there is the Emperor Angel.
I see a Wrasse briefly in that tank that looks to be yellow, purple, and green/blue... anyone know what those are actually called?
And I like the colors in that tank in the film with the mostly white rocks and shells etc in it, and the dominant Blues & Yellows you get from the tangs & damsels, with the variety of the other fish.
If I get the 400 gallon 96x30x36 tank this is what I want to put in it as a minimum:
1. Emperor Angel (that has already changed colors)
1. Yellow Tang
1. Purple Tang
1. Regal Blue Hippo Tang
1. Naso Tang
1. Maroon Clownfish with one white stripe
1. Percula Orange/White clownfish
1. Orange Spotted Goby
1. Yellow Watchman Goby
1. Bicolor Blenny
(and of course we are assuming I use top notch filtration/skimming and provide all the dietary needs of the Angel/Tangs)
(Also there would be no corals in the tank, and no live rock, only the white rock/shells whatever that is in that tank in the film clip and at a very minimum so theres a ton of swimming space)
Would there be any major issues with these fish living together in this?
And beyond that..... Could I add several Pajama Cardinals, several Purple Firefish, and several Yellow Tang, like say 7 of each of those.... and even further 7 Blue Damsels?
To me that's the ultimate tank, because the Emperor Angel would be the centerpiece, and the Tangs & Clowns and possible wrasse would add lots of vivid wild colors to follow the beautiful Emperor Angel and they would all be very active swimmers. And then the Gobies and Blennies would add lots of activity and interest to the bottom part of the tank. And last, groups of yellow tangs, pajama cardinlas, purple firefish and maybe also blue damsels would add that something "extra" that you get when you see fish school/group.
Thanks in advance for answers to questions I posed and insight.
