Fish for 75 gallon?

Would a blue tang, foxface, dwarf flame angel, 2 ocellaris clowns, purple pseudochromis (purple dottyback), a six line wrasse, and a yellow goby be ok in a 75 gallon tank? Is that too many fish or could i add more, and lastly is there a certain order i should add them in? Thanks!

 

The blue tang will outgrow it some time down the road. Other than that they should be ok. I would add them in this order:

Blue tang
Yellow Goby
Foxface
Clowns
Flame angel
Six line
Dottyback

 

What about a powder blue tang instead of a regular blue tang would that fit better?

 

I think that it will outgrow the 75 as well, but I'm not sure. Powder blues are also notoriously hard to keep and are very disease prone and fragile. But they are beautiful!!

 

get a small blue tang it should be good for a few years, or a yellow or purple tang. Fox face get big too.
with all of those fish get a skimmer for 150 to200 gallons.

 

Hey Grant your asking for trouble again with a Powder Blue tang they are an ich monster. Stay clear. 75 gals is not a big tank. Figure after you put rocks in there and corals that grow and grow it will start to get crammed in there in no time. I think the baby blue hippo tang is a better choice as they tend to be hardy. Hardy is the key in a reef because you can't catch a dying fish in a reef as well as a trouble maker.

 

I personally think only the smaller Ctenochaetus tangs are appropriate for 75's. Some people are fine with moving fish out when they get too big but it doesn't always happen, it's hard to sell/give away in the area, or people get attached to them and then the fish grows too large, gets stressed and gets sick and dies, sometimes stressing out/infecting other fish in the tank in the process. The foxface I think will outgrow the tank as well.

Just something to keep in mind, you need to be ready to part with the fish after having it for a couple years, and sometimes it's a chore just getting the fish out of the tank.

The rest of the fish should be fine size-wise, you may get some aggression from the dottyback and the wrasse as they grow older. If you plan on a reef the angel may nip at some corals eventually as well. I would personally choose other options but it's up to you ultimately!

 

Can't a powder tang be put in a copper supplemented tank and be cured of disease?

 

what about instead of blue tang a yellow tang or a ptters angel

 

I think that's too many fish for a 75...r u planning to run a large sump to add to your volume? If not, that many fish in a 75 is not impossible if you have excellent filtration....if not I think you will run into parm problems. Invest in a good skimmer and if possible run a fuge with some macro algae.
