stocklist for 120 gal

gauma369 · 08/20/2009, 12:56 AM

So I just upgraded to a 120 gal tank and was throwing out possible stock of fish for debate and critisism.

Currently from my old tank I have
2 X Perc Clowns
1 X Maroon Clown
1 X Pajama Cardinal

I was thinking of adding
1 X Yellow Tang
1 X Foxface Rabbitfish
1 X Royal Gramma
1 X Firefish

What are some ideas of compatabilty and is that to many fish?

I currently have a 37 gal sump with macro algae and will recieve my new MSX 200 skimmer Tue

I know the maroon clown is a little aggressive but he hasnt gone after the cardinal and other clowns. The only time I have noticed he gets aggressive is some times during feeding he will chase the Perc Clowns but not real big deal. The Perc clowns swim away but come right back to the food.

Also what order would you add the new fish?

I figure the Yellow Tang and Royal Gramma last. With the Firefish first followed by rabbitfish.

I have a maroon clown in my 120 with a false perc and they are fine. My current stock list fish wise is
1 false perc
1 maroon clown
1 blue tang
1 royal gramma
1 copperbanded butterfly

I am waiting for my tank to settle a while before I add anything else. I upgraded from a 40 to a 120 and thoughts are still racing as to what else I want to put in. I think with a 120 you can pretty much throw most anything in their with the exception of a few fish that really need a 6' tank. Check out the fish forum for some articles on those. I am still up in the air whether or not to add lyretail anthias, my LFS has them on sale, 5 for $100.
