your thoughts on what to add next...

yup another thread about what to add next...but hey that why we have these forums right to get feedback and shard ideas.

tank
75 with 40br sump 6 months old everything is nice an stable. ( also will have a 40br macro display plumed in to after I QT all fish)
I have a 6 line, royal gramma and a tail spot blenny in there now...

what I was thinking of adding: ( not all as most mind you )
pair of clowns (Ocellaris)
yellow long nose butterfly
kole tang or a yellow if dont do the YLNB
was thinking of trying to do 2 dwarf angels the coral beauty & the flame
the angels would be QT together and added at the same time.

right now my fish in the DT seams to be picky eaters they were eating NLS pellets only 1 or 2 and flake in QT but know that are in the DT they only go after brine and mysis. so I would like some fish to encourage more of a feeding frenzy if you will. but on the other hand it might be the time to add the yellow long nose....

was thinking the clowns and the butterfly or the tang and the YLNB as I write this la has both dwarf angles in stock might jump on that...

anyone?

I'd go with the pair of clowns, which shouldn't bother your current fish. Plus, no fish tank is complete with clowns .

The Kole tang stays smaller and is more size appropriate to your 75 gal tank than the larger yellow tang, which when fully grown requires a lot more room.

I don't know much about the butterfly and dwarf angels, though, in terms of tank sizing. But I don't think they're reef safe in case you do have or plan to keep corals.

 

[Devaji108]

yes I do plan to keep corals and I am aware the the dwarf angels are a risk. had both a CB and flame in the past.
yeah i here you I know clowns are so common theses days but I love the way the swim host nems and the white is so white it looks like it glowing...
maybe in this order i'll go with the flame and kole tang
and do the YLNB by itself.

Im wondering how that sixline is. Has it shown any aggression? A new tankmate could make him act out.

 

[Devaji108]

yeah the six line has been fine, if he starts acting up i'll pull him to the QT when I add the new fish, leave him there for a bit then re add him to the DT. alot of ppl have bad experience with the 6 line a guess but I have had a few in the past and they have been pretty easy going. ( got rid of then with moving and breaking down the tanks ) i guess time will tell I really do like the little buggers.

Its not advisable to have two dwarfs in the same tank that size. They generally will fight others of the same species. If you do decide to do two dwarfs one should be bigger than the other so dominance will be settled quickly.

ppl have done it with great success I have seen pics of 3 in a 65...all that said I decided just to get the flame and a couple clowns and a cleaner shrimp...
