stocking list

[thirty6]

i have a 150g tank with approx 120 or so lbs or rock, which is stocked with the following fish.

pair of clownfish
pair of l/n hawkfish (one chilling in overflow and refused any attempt to get out)
hippo tang -3"
jap. masked swallowtail 3-4"
3 bangai cardinals
swalesi basslet
orange back wrasse
lubbok wrasse

i also have a few shrimp that the hawks dont even notice, and some coral. wondering where i am at with the stocking list, if i can add anything else or if im packed! the cardinals, basslet, and hawks are smaller in size

 

[thirty6]

any ideas?

12 fish in a 150 your just beginning LOL i have close to 20 in my 92 corner you can get a few more and be good. I would get a couple wrasses

 

[thirty6]

thats what i want to hear Duke!

i really like the wrasse family, but the two i have go at it non stop! id have to pick them very carefully i guess

I have a 75g mix reef.
my Fish list
2 Clown fish
1 Flame wrasse
1 Rhomboid wrasse
1 Naoko's wrasse
1 Pylei wrasse
1 Debelius wrasse
1 Leopard wrasse
1 Diamond goby
2 Bartlett anthias
1 Regal angel
1 Purple tang
1 Firefish
1 Mandarin
1 Fire shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp
1 gold coral banded shrimp
so I'm pretty sure you can still add more fish. lol!

Excellent!

Any issues with the wrasses or they play nice? I would like to add another one or two just not sure which yet. The orange back is the more aggressive of the two I have and only to the other wrasse. Both have great coloring on them

You should go flame angel. Im getting one of them and a bi color angel this week.

I have a legit fish trap in case they start nipping coral I can let you borrow.

 

[Edjersey]

always look for the temperment don't go with semi aggressive it's still aggressive.. I always go for peaceful, mine they just look at each other and don't care.they just flashing but no chasing.

Flame angel is nice looking fish, but I have starting to get an interest in corals lately more than i had thought i would so I'll prob hold off, thanks for trap offer though
Adding a mate for my swallowtail is a thought though.....

Beautiful looking fish, strong colors. The wrasses are my favorite fish, the two I have now battle it out every so often, not sure a third is good idea. I'd like something active, maybe time for few anthias

Love this thread. Been looking for ideas on stocking my 120g long.

here's my Regal angel, I just took that pic just now.. light just turned on so corals are not yet open.

Hey Ed does the Regal bother your corals at all?

here are some of mine

Tusi, if you don't mind my asking, which wrasse is this? The striped one, not the cleaner, of course. TIA

^^ I often go to the LFS or look here, like something and then dont pull the trigger. I like hearing about others experience mixing and matching certain fish. I prefer the wrasse family and some of the angels to most other types of fish. I had thought about purple tile fish as i love the color and activity but my decision to keep the tank bb probly wont do well for them

i added a watandbie angel (female) beautiful fish i picked up from Finksmart here. i also added a rosy scale wrasse, but havent seen it since acclimation took place !!!

How long have you had it? Wrasses will usually hide for a few days
