90 Gallon Stocking List

rad1687 · 04/12/2011, 09:05 PM

Looking to run a possible stock list past you guys for my 90 gallon mixed reef.

Fish I already have: 2 fancy perculas, 3 green reef chromis

Fish I want to add: 1 Kole tang, 1 Copperband Butterfly, 1 or 2 flasher wrasses

Down the line: Mandarin once the tank is established and pod population is sufficient

Will this be too much fish for the 90? Thanks!

should be fine I have 14fish in my 90g 6 are tangs(they'll be moving into my 210 soon).. my kole tang is the biggest jerk of the bunch though..

Looks good. You could also do a flasher and 1 or 2 fairy wrasses

Definitely should be fine I think I have 16 fish in my 90 and 9 are tangs which are over due for the move to my big tank but haven't been in a rush levels are good and no aggression even during feeding time

how is mine overstocked..I have no aggression no illness/no sickness, and perfect water conditions..

Toddrtrex · 04/13/2011, 08:07 AM

If you don't think that 6 tangs is overstocked for a 90, we are just going to have to agree to disagree -- doesn't matter what the other 8 fish are.

Bamm Bamm · 04/13/2011, 08:12 AM

I guess you missed the fact in the same sentence that everything is going into my 210 in a few months=)and none are anywhere near fullgrown fyi..

Toddrtrex · 04/13/2011, 08:15 AM

No, I didn't miss it at all.

I am of the belief that you should stock for the tank that you currently have, not one you are planning on setting up. But, if you want to keep 2 P. hepatus, a yellow, what appears to be a sailfin and 2 other tangs in your 90, that is your choice. Just like it is my choice to say that it is overstocked.

this is true everyone is entitled to their opnion

Trex, tampa, will mine be over stocked as well? Would I have room for a flame angel? Thanks.

Toddrtrex · 04/13/2011, 08:58 AM

Borderline, but not too bad. Personally, though, I would skip the chromis; IME (( and others )) they seem to kill each other off until there is one left.

As for the flame, great fish but not always reef safe -- IME, dwarfs love to eat/nip fleshy corals.

Bamm Bamm · 04/13/2011, 09:50 AM

I had a flame for a few weeks but he was picking at my 12" Squamosha so I had to get rid of him.. I agree on the chromis they tend to kill each other or jump out or just dissapear and if they do ever grow they get kinda mean(they are damsels after all)
