75g stocking ideas??

[Mike1995]

I have a pair of maroon clowns, a coral beauty Angel and a scooter Blenny in my 75g. So far my clowns are having no issues with the other two fish.
So, I was wondering if a kole tang would be ok for a 75g?
What other fish would be good fits? (Preferably ones won't nip corals)

IMO a kole tang would work. Have you looked into blennnys ?

IMO a kole tang would work. How you looked into blennnys ?

Sort of. I have a scooter Blenny.
I really wanted a lawnmower Blenny but I don't have enough algae and all to keep ones alive. Is there others that would be easier to feed?

You an supplement there feeding with algae sheets and algae wafers

Established Maroons can be devils to new additions. I would definitely use an acclimation box for any new additions. A Kole Tang would hold it's own, but the Coral Beauty may be a bit too similar in shape to it. My Yellow Tang was certainly an unholy terror to my CB (although Yellow Tangs are more known for their aggression).

I plan on getting a kole tang for my 75 in the next few weeks. Cool fish they are

Scooter blennies aren't blennies - they're dragonets,

I've got a starry blenny and a midas blenny in my tank - another (smaller) choice would be a tailspot blenny.

Ok Mike, I know you have been frustrated recently. If you decide to get a Tailspot I will send you a beautiful cluster of barnacles. Free. I think you'd love a Tailspot!

Multiple cardinalfish (pajama or Banggai) would be a safe bet. They are not a very active fish but do add some life to the tank.

Maybe add a wrasse of some kind? A solar fairy wrasse would be awesome. A royal gramma would be a good fit too.

This is what I have in my 75 gallon and it does not look crowded. I have a yellow tang, 2 ocellaris clowns, a yellow and green clown goby, a royal gamma basslet, a banded goby, a fire fish, a saddleback vallentini puffer, a blue green chromis, a blue damsel, a yellow striped cardinal fish and a banggai cardinal fish (who is the biggest butthead). I like having more smaller fish than a few bigger fish.

Agreed although, I think that the solar fairy wrasse tends to be a little more aggressive than some other varieties. I sure didn't have a good experience with mine. Melanurus, Red Lined, Christmas (of the Claudia variety) would all be good choices as would several of the flasher wrasses and some of the fairy wrasses (ie Ruby Headed Wrasse).

 

[CindyKz]

I'd go with a wrasse - least likely to have issues with your other fish.

 

[Mike1995]

Hmm. I think I'll definitely get a Blenny of some kind. I also have been looking into flame hawkfish and the kole tang again.
I don't wanna over stock my tank. 75g.
My clowns pay absolutely no attention to my Angel. They seem to have started behaving themselves.

Would this work?

Current fish-
2 maroon clowns
Coral Beauty Angelfish

Possible fish-
Kole tang
Or
Flame hawk and a Blenny of sorts
Red lined wrasse
Or
A flame hawk and a foxface rabbit (I've been wanting one of those for months)

What other tangs are out there that stay under 10"?

 

[Mike1995]

Sorry for the late response everyone I wasn't getting notifications
There's just so many different fish I like I can't decide

I don't mean to sound dumb.. But are barnacles something alive?

 

[Katrina71]

Not dumb. They once were alive. Now they are a bit like a shell.

 

[Katrina71]

I can show you.

 

[Katrina71]

That's my Tailspot. In a barnacle. Most tailspots swim in the open as much as they perch.

 

[GoldeneyeRet]

Perhaps a fang blenny?
