    that is way overstocked
    the smaller fish are fine
    but you should get only have two of the larger fish( angel, tang, tuskfish)
    also only one tuskfish
    good luck

    No Harlequin tusk. They reach a foot in length. No emporer they reach over a foot in length. I would also say no to the sargassm fish. They really need a biotope type aquarium and also will eat any fish that will fit in its mouth.I would also say no to the puffer. They can get very aggresive and eat invertabrates.No blue tang they get a foot in length. I would go for some sort of bristletooth tang instead.I wouldn't do more then one or two anthias with the other fish on your list.

    Okay so what do u think instead of the Harlequin I love the colors on

    Okay on the sargassm fish but would u recommend any type of frog or scorpian fish?

    No puffer okay but could I replace with something else?

    No tang is fine with me every one I have had got ick

    And only two anthias okay would one of each breed work together?

    Heres the list I would use.
    clown goby citrinis x2
    purple firefish x2
    dwarf flame angel x1
    anthias one blotched one lytail (not sure on the compatability on Anthias as I have never had any so maybe someone else can shed some light here they are listed as semi aggresive but I would think you would want to stick with one type and one male with maybe two females)
    most awesome clowns ever x2.
    I wouldn't do any kind of scorpian or frogfish as they will eat your smaller fish.
