Would this be too much?

Currently in my 75 gal. I have a pair of Clownfish, one pijama cardinal, and a six line grasses.

I'm looking to get an Orange back fairy wrasse, red or green mandarin, and a yellow tang. I really wanna get a couple more cardinals to have em school up or would that be too much?

Depending on your filtration and the size of your sump and skimmer that may be a bit much for your tank. How long has the tank been up ?

 

Tanks been up a year. I have a 10 gal. sump and a coralife 125 super needle

for me, so long as you dont excede more than a pair of the cardinals, you should be ok. Be careful of that yellow tang though. they can become junkyard dogs in that size of a tank. I used to have a 75.

 

Do you have lots of copepods for the mandarin? The list looks good to me. Agreed on being careful with the Tang. I also used to have one in a 75g and he was a big bully.

 

if you add the yellow T last should be alright.

 

Yeah I had a yellow tang and he bullied my angel. He's definitely gonna be the last one I add cause he went first last time and ended up being a jerk.

As far as the pods go, I feel I should be alrite. Tanks been up a year and I had an ICH outbreak and lost everything back in April so my tank was fishies til about August on top of the year its been up. But what do I know, its only been a year

I would say no to the tang.(Theres a shocker). Your tank is too small and it will probably go postal on you.(you have already had it happen once) Also I would not mix a Mandarin and a sixline wrasse. The sixline will compete with pods and are very efficient at striping a tank of them.I would just add the fairy wrasse and the cardinals although that sixline may give the fairy a hard time.

 

I've seen a lot of 75s with tangs in them. I think if you add the yellow last then you shouldn't have a problem.

I agree with Vinny about the competition from the sixline for the pods. My clownfish pair also ate up all the pods in my tank, so unless you plan on supplementing or breeding them, the mandarin may not be the best choice. Otherwise, I think the cardinals would be a nice add. And as for the tang, I would say it depends on your rock layout, and how crowded the 'scape of your tank is. Do you have corals that reduce swimming room, and places your other fish can hide, if the tang goes postal?
