stocking 75 gallon

lesliek0211 · 01/31/2006, 02:20 PM

Hi all. This is my first post, but I've been reading around for a while. I've had my 75 gallon set up for a couple months now, and all the params are perfect. In the next month or so I was wanting to add a couple more fish, and wanted to know if they would be suitable.
My current stocking list is this:
3 green chromis 1-2' each
1 firefish goby 2'
1 six line wrasse 1 1/2'
1 yellow tang 3'

I know I want to add one clown, and maybe a flame angel, but any other suggestions would be appreciated greatly. I do have corals so they must be reef safe.

A pair of percula clowns would be sweet.

you could get 8-12 small fish in there.

I currently have 2 clowns, 1 yellow tang, 1 orchid dottyback, 1 lawnmower blenny and 1 red scooter blenny. The Blennies and Tang are good for cleaning as they eat algae and the scooter eat off the substrate as well.

These are all reef safe fish. I like to get some fish to assist with the cleaning :-)

I plan on getting 4-6 more fish.
- Possibly a Copper Band to keep the Aptasia at bay.
- I am definitely going to try a dragonet once the tank builds a good population of bugs (amphipods).
- some type of jawfish or goby
- I am looking for either 2 Carpenter Flasher Wrasses or 2 fairy wrasses of some sort to round out my population.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am definitely going with the percula clown, and now I'm thinking of possibly Royal Gramma, Jawfish, and maybe a different species of wrasse as I love my six-line. Again thanks for the help, and keep the suggestions coming.
