3xGoby(Hifin red banded, Yasha, Yellow watchman.)
1xSpotted mandarin dragonet
5xBluegreen chromis will become one over time
& 3xBangaii cardinal only two will work
2xFirefish goby only one long term
2xScissortail dartfish
Possum wrasse
2xDwarf angels (Bicolor,Lemonpeel) not coral safe
2xTang (Yellow & Tomini)
Clowns
brown & black brittle stars?
coral banded shrimp? not fish safe
damsels? aggressive; risky towards some of the above
Magnificent foxface That is three algae grazers; if you do not have enough natural algae, these will not be coral safe as they will eat the zooxanthellae in corals

Would all these be ok in a reef with softies, zoas, SPS and LPS??

Beyond the scope of this thread, but research alleopathy

[braidensfish]

Hmm ok! thanks heaps for all of your help, what if i swapped the algae blenny with a orange spotted blenny? would the algae thing be less of a issue then??

[braidensfish]

Also could i have two possum wrasses in a 180 gallon reef?

No. I am looking at two tangs and a foxface all of which eat algae constantly.

Yes.

[braidensfish]

[braidensfish]

[braidensfish]

three more questions, what's your opinion on getting a couple of pistol shrimp to go with the gobies?
Also whats your opinion on a tuxedo urchin in this tank?
Can i add a hawaiian flame wrasse to the mix?

Also whats your opinion on a tuxedo urchin in this tank? not with the algae eaters planned
Can i add a hawaiian flame wrasse to the mix? yes, but males are difficult shippers

[braidensfish]

so the pistol shrimp would be ok with all the other inverts that will be in my tank??
so the Hawaiian flame would be ok with the two possum wrasses?
that's awesome thanks!

[braidensfish]

I have 3 fishes in an 5', 180g FOWLR. They are a 10" blue hippo tang, a 6" tenneti tang, and a 4" adult queen angel. Will it be okay to add a 6" personifer angel?

[Darth_Tater]

Hi again! Have some changes to my fish wish list I'd like to run by you.

40 breeder with lots of hidey holes in the rock and lots of open swimming space, no skimmer. Fish need to be skunk cleaner shrimp, emerald crab, clean up crew (snails and hermits), and clam safe.

Fish I currently have:
Firefish
Tiny Wheelers Shrimp Goby

Planned future fish:
Royal Gramma
Possum Wrasse
Pair of O. Clowns

Maybe a Bangaii or PJ cardinal if the bioload isn't too heavy later.

I'm mainly worried about the Royal Gramma since it has a big looking mouth. From what I've read though, they get along with pretty much everything.

Thanks again!

Queen angels, once mature are unlikely to tolerate other angelfish in this sized tank. The blue hippo tang may also be a problem. it will, of course, be a problem in a 5 foot tank eventually in any case.

Royal Gramma are territorial but only protect a relatively small territory. Since you have a smallish tank, that fish may be a risk but the others are fine

[sc50964]

Thanks snorvich. How about the following fish list for an 8', 560G FOWLR?

3 different Chaetodontoplus species
1 Apolemichthys specie
2 Holacanthus species (no passer for sure)
1 Pomacanthus specie (likely chrysurus)
1 regal angel
1 male and 2 famales of the same Genicanthus specie
1 blue hippo tang
1 tenneti tang
1 Sohal tang
1 vlimingi tang
1 dussumieri tang
1 moorish idol
1 Hawaiian black trigger
1 harlinquin tusk
1 parrot fish (either one with large amount of orange or quoyi)

Ok, maybe I'll just try to get a pair of Bangaiis. I'll do some more research and see if I'm comfortable with the Gramma risk or not.

Thanks again!

[braidensfish]

would the butterfly work if i added it before the tangs?
TIA

Greater chance. Not definitive, however.

How about a Yellow Assessor instead of a Gramma in the 40 breeder?
