Stocking 220 gallon tank

TimTheNewbie · 06/25/2018, 08:57 PM

Hello -

I have a one-two month old tank that currently houses:

One Red Sea sailfin tang
Three lemon chromis
One royal gramma
One tiger cowrie
Three turbo snails
Six or so red legged hermits

I am going to be adding fish *very* slowly and would appreciate feedback. This is a fish only tank right now that has quite a bit of non-live rock in it.

Looking to add:

Two clowns
Three Bangaii
Coral beauty angel
Fire angel
Lawnmower blenny
Choc chip starfish
Longfin banner
Diamond goby
A couple colorful, peaceful wrasse species
Raccoon butterfly

So, any compatibility issues? Any cool fish I am overlooking? Is this too many fish? Or are there room for more?

Your advice and opinions are welcome

Just be prepared if it does happen, but it may not. The established Sailfin tang may be very aggressive towards the Butterfly and Longfin Banner.

Tim might want to get those butterflies in sooner rather than later, before the tang gets big/aggressive/mature.

I don't see any other issues.

Chocolate chip star will probably munch on the snails and crabs. also I would hold off on any starfish until your tank is mature.
