Input: Stocking List for 90!

Welcome, try to add fish by their personalities. Least aggressive first to most aggressive last.

 

Okay. I also have a question about the tang. Is it better to get a tiny one (I noticed some sites sell them at .5"-1" or so), or is it better to get a bigger one? Are they hardier if bigger? Or do they adjust to aquarium life better if they are younger?

I think I would go with one or two sizes larger. It will help keep it from getting bullied as easily and give you a better chance at a healthier fish.

 

okay, thanks for all your help!

 

2-3 inches is a good size to get them IME

 

Alright, Thanks Eric!

 

No really cool and fun goby / shrimp team to keep your sandscaping ever changing?

I do not think i saw them on your list! I adore mine - they pretty much rule the bottom of the tank.

 

hahaha shrimp really creep me out - so I think I'll pass!

 

I think the Bellus is a little iffy on the size requirement, although I would probably not mention it except that the tang definitely will outgrow the tank as long as we're both talking about Paracanthurus Hepatus, and that makes two iffy fish.
I know some websites say 70-75g as the minimum for this tang but it can grow up to a quarter of the length of your tank if it lives it's full life healthily and happily. Are you planning on removing it after it outgrows the tank?
Those are my only issues and of course it's always just my opinion!

For stocking order I would do it from the bottom up from what you listed.
