My Fish Wish List.

[JaysLittleOcean]

So the time has come to get ready to fill my 36x36x36 150 gallon cube of water with fish. I know what fish I definitely want... but I don't know if their all compatible in my soon to be SPS Reef, their stocking order. I do know which one make the top cut and I want to add. Why don't you give me a hand.

*Achilles Tang* or *Powder Blue Tang*

I would love to keep both if I had a way to add them safely.

I have the same tank, have a hippo and had a tomini tang at the same time, both were on smaller side when they were together good luck, enjoy the tank

Achilles are hard to keep...Powder Blue can be aggressive ... A lot of other tangs would be better choice

I know they are difficult to care for but I'm not in this hobby for easy things. I have been drooling over these fish for years. I just want to know what are the best method to introduce them into the tank together at the begging or after all the other livestock has been added.

Your tank really isn't suited for an Achilles Tang, as it's only 3' long and an Achilles Tang needs a longer tank, at least 6', to do well. as for a PBT, your tank would be OK for one, the problem is not only can they be aggressive but they are Ich magnets, so you need to QT one before placing it in your tank. You also need to get a good one, as they do have issues and don't always make it.

I would think the best is together and last. So other fish are in the tank that may cause a confusion. That's good that you got what you want. Good luck. I agree on the tank size that bigger would be better.

I am going to hold off for the time being. Thanks everyone.
