Stocking 125 gallon reef

danimallaminad · 03/30/2013, 10:03 PM

I'am setting up a 125 gallon reef and am planning my "Fish List". so here's the fish i already own that will be in the tank: 1- coral beauty, 1- six-line wrasse, 1- occellaris clown, 1- maroon clown, 1- green chromis, 1- red firefish. I would like to have a peaceful community reef, so here's what i would like to add: 5- green chromis, 3- yellow tangs, 1- occellaris clown, 3- red firefish, 1- blue tang, 4- burtlett's anthias. I would really love bright schooling fish. If any of the fish i said are not compatible with each other or reef please tell me but i'am aware of the maroon clown and occellaris clown problem but i'am just risking that because i already own both of them. If anyone knows of some fish that school better then the anthias or chromis or firefish please tell me because i'am willing to switch those out for better schooling fish. Thanks for any help.

There are a number of issues with that list. For a thorough stocking analysis I recommend you post in this thread: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2068112

6 lines and peaceful dont typically go together. Coral Beautys can be mean as well. I had a 6 line and a CB together for 2 years without issue, now I have a CB. 2 different types of clowns = war, 2 alike clowns who arent a mated pair can = war and "3" yellow tangs! Id say with that list WW3 may take place in your tank.
