What fish next?

alwmh4 · 08/22/2015, 05:23 PM

So I have a 150ga with a diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, clown, skunk shrimp, and a sixline. Plus hermits, snails and corals. And now what do I get. I have tangs in my list but those come last. Any suggestions? Dottybacks can chase. Are anthias as difficult as I hear as far as feeding? Maybe a Bellus angel?

Eventually wanting a white tail bristletooth and yellow tang.

Lamarck angels are pretty too but possibly problematic from what I hear

brannock_16 · 08/22/2015, 05:27 PM

I'm all about wrasses, mostly fairies.

Labouti
Rhomboid
Linneatus
Hooded
Flame
Carpenters

There's a ton. Check them out. Flashers are cool too.

Those ok with a sixline wrasse? I love that guy but don't want war

I would go with a male/female pair of the bellus angel's

Anthis arnt to bad imo but they do need to be fed 3-4 times a day

alwmh4 · 08/23/2015, 07:17 PM

Ok so the Angels before the tangs right?

alwmh4 · 08/23/2015, 07:18 PM

And it's most
Likely the safest angel to get?

shifty51008 · 08/23/2015, 07:22 PM

Those angels are safe with corals. As for tangs, each have a diff personality. Lots say yellow tangs are bullys yet everyone i have had have been the baby of all fish

Lamrick angels are also safe, you could go with a pair of them also

alwmh4 · 08/24/2015, 04:30 AM

Hmmm. I know tangs in general can be a little more aggressive but I don't want a renegade in there. Any other tang that you might recommend? The white tail bristletooth is my only for sure tang but I have a lot of tank left to populate

shifty51008 · 08/24/2015, 04:41 AM

i've always been a fan of chocolate tangs, getting them as a juvi and watching them change colors is great. Achilles, and naso's are also very nice

Fire fish!

alwmh4 · 08/24/2015, 06:11 AM

I love all tangs. Wish I could have one of each kind. Just don't want a war in there. I think it's the chevron and of course a purple that can be really nasty

scumbag_gli · 08/24/2015, 06:18 AM

Bellus will be safest with corals, just make sure it's eating before you buy it since they're usually $100-150 range. My favorite is a nice set of 4-5 barlett anthias!

alwmh4 · 08/24/2015, 06:34 AM

So you recommend I buy from lfs rather than online then? So I can see them eating? Can I add those before I add tangs? Or do I need to wait till I can source all fish. (That'd be adding 4-5 fish at one time)

This. Just make sure to cover your tank.

alwmh4 · 08/24/2015, 06:25 PM

I can get a female bellus now but can't locate a male. Should I wait to add them at the same time?
