80 gallon tank stocking

[welshgazz]

Hi guys, got my 300 litre (80 gallon) fowlr running very nicely now and have ideas on how to finish the stocking of it off would like opinions and other ideas though.

I'm aiming for

A cleaner wrasse

A flasher wrasse or 2

A Bartlett anthia

A coral beauty.

Cerrith snails.

Cleaner shrimps

That should complete the tank in terms of numbers and amount of fish. What's your opinions?

40kg sand
40kg live rock
Tmc v2 skim 500 compact hob skimmer

2 x 2800 lph circulation pumps (fluval sea 3, hydor koralia 3200)

Cleaner wrasse is not a good choice.

Depending on the sizes of the cleaner shrimp and longnose hawk, the hawk may eat the shrimp.

Why no cleaner wrasse, if you don't mind me asking?

A big part of their diet is the slime coat of fish. In the wild they service hundreds of fish a day. In captivity they often don't eat prepared foods, and even if they, not all their dietary needs are met. They should be housed in larger systems with more large fish.

Thanks so much for that info. Glad I asked. What do you think of the others, could I have more than one of either anthia or wrasse? Going to add coral beauty last, as have read they can harass new fish.

You can have multiple bartlett anthias. And more than 1 flasher wrasse, as long as they are a different species.
