75 gal Stocking

Alright, So this is my first tank and I want to get some help for stocking my tank...

I want some fish that are peaceful and aren't too hard to take care of, and would be reef safe, So what are your suggestions?


I was making somewhat of a list...

2 Black and White Clownfish
1 Yellow Tang
1 Goby
1 Pistol Shrimp

 

Dwarf Angels are hit or miss as reef safe.

That is a pretty good list to fill up the tank with 2 tangs and 4 clowns.

 

Alright Thanks!

 

I'd maybe of having the two clowns and add in something else to replace the second two. Or, you could think about having a variety of clowns of different types. Just a note, when you add clowns, try to add last since they can get a bit testy (certain breeds like maroons, tomato, clarkia. Ocellaris tend to be less aggressive. I know dwarfs are hit or miss but some like coral beauties, cherubs, and flames are less likely to pick at corals (always a risk though with individual specimens) just to add a little more variety in your overall combination.

You might want to think about a bottom dweller too such as a goby or blenny. I love yellow watchman gobies, such a cool look to them. A pistol shrimp/goby combination are very cool. They form a symbiotic relationship. You can look up goby/shrimp combinations through a search - which gobies bond with certain types of pistols.

I'm thinking the blue tang with a lot of fish in a 75 might get too big but that's IMO.

What type of corals are planning on keeping?

 

I just looked that up! that looks so cool.. I might just have to get a postol and goby.. but the only thing is... dont my sand beds have to be deeper? I have a inch to inch and a half sand bed..

and corals... well im not quite sure yet. I have a bubble coral and a sea anemone in the tank already.. but i was thinking maybe a brain coral.. and a few other brightly colored corals..

 

the amount of sand would be sufficient.

 

Sweet! Also, Thanks for your suggestion, oldfishkeeper.

 

IMO, blue tangs as adults will be too large, and two pair of clowns could easily be a disaster.

 

Thanks. Updated the list. Look at first post.

 

Bristle tooth tang.
