Help with stocking order on 75 gallon
I was looking at Kole Yellow Eye Tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus) and One Spot Foxface (Siganus unimaculatus).
Other fish I was considering- some type of wrasse (maybe more than 1- but really like the look of the leopard), maybe a basslet/assessor, a blenny (midas or bicolor), a striped-cardinal fish, and a goby. What would be the best order to consider adding these? Thanks for the help. |

I also have a midas blenny they are great fish. Would not recommend a foxface for a 75 though.

1. A Single or pair of gobies (so many options) with the Blenny.I would get a bi-colour. 2.I would add your Cardinal and wrasse depending on species.The leapord wrasse is a fish I wouldn't recommend.Maybe one of the possum wrasses?Or something like a peaceful fairy wrasse? 3.You could add in a pair of royal gramma 4.The kole tang.

You can go with a Hawaiian and Caribbean fish mix:
1. Potters Leopard Wrasse. 2. Hawaiian flame wrasse. 3. Kole tang. 4. Swissguard Basslet. 5. Horned Blenny. |

I thought one spot foxface is OK in 75 gallon because it is a smaller rabbitfish?

Absent the Foxface (agree 75 is too small), none of these fish are particularly aggressive outside their genus/species. Leopards are tough though, particularly the Potters, so maybe not a great choice for the beginner (of course OP may just be new to RC, not new to the hobby).

I've had my Fox face in a 75 for a couple years. He does fine. I keep him happy with food.

I have had a 29 gallon nanocube for only a year- so still a beginner- but not a total noob. I have been trying to do my homework. I am completely new to bigger tanks though. My 75 is still cycling now. I thought the 75 was an OK size because of it being 48" long- I thought it was length the foxface needed? Not arguing- just trying to figure out how to know what fish are OK in this size. I was using liveaquaria as a starting point and then searching these forums.
Again- thanks for the help. |
