stocking plans..

bteagle93 · 01/27/2008, 07:59 PM

hey guys, im in the midst of placing a 75 gallon in my basement wall. heres my stockign list so far:
1 yellow tang
1 kole tang
(1 of the tangs will be trasnfered to a buddys tank when they become too big for both in the tank)
2 ocellaris clowns
1 humbug damsel
1 long finned sleeper goby
1 neon goby
5 blue/green chromis

Sound good? i wanted to add a six line wrasse or a flame pygmy, but i wasnt sure if it was already stocked enough. any suggestions?

Sounds a bit over stocked to me. My 75G has 5 fish and the largest is a flame angel. I would nix the yellow tang, and if you must have a tang stick with the kole. I would also pass on the damsel. Most everyone who has one wishes they had never put it in the tank. Then I would cut the number of chromis to two or maybe 3. I would add these slowly with the tang going in last. JMO.

Just keep in mind that one may unrelentingly harass and or injure the other from the moment they are introduced to the tank.
