Compatible Fish List

[qstorm]

Happy Holidys.

So my tank just completed the fallow period. I went 86 days instead of 76 to be safe and about to go fish shopping tomorrow. My tank is 72x24x30, with a 30 gal sump and a 10gal roller mat filtration. Tank has bee up since may of this year. I have about 13 frags and looking to add lots more

I really wanted a mix reef predator tank but I am trying to settle for in between.

1. Reef compatible - that won't eat my corals and murder all my cuc too fast
2. Sensitive to copper or fresh water dip ...(QT tank)
3. Will not be super dominant and stress the other fish to death
4. Other than wrasse, any jumpers
5. Not worth getting because of short life span
6. Who should be introduced first and last. (My LFS will be getting them in two batches and medicate, dip etc for a week, for a small fee of course)

220 gallon.

I’m unclear on whether you want *all* of these, or are asking for other people to figure out a compatible group that won’t murder each other?

Because I’m pretty sure if you put 6 clowns abd 7 tangs in that tank, your asking for trouble

Before my wipe out , I had fox face , Angel emperor, humu Tigger, 2 clowns , coral beauty, a damsel , brown tang ,powder blue, naso, no issues..then I added a yellow tang and blue tang that had ich/velvet , (didnt qt them) and brown tang chased the emperor for two days...then all was ok.
Now would like to get all these if possible. I'm willing to adjust..just asking so i don't waste money...I see different reviews on each from online stores...my tangs were 3-4 inches when i got them.. Thinking maybe if I get them all small i can make it happen ..idk

Hi! If it were me and you don't want to risk loosing corals I would stay away from Angels.... because it is not "if" but "when" they will go after your corals. If you really want Angel then look into the Genicanthus group of Angels.

Thank you, they are beautiful ....will hunt for one instead of the regal

So your asking if you can get the same live stock as last time ?
I would invest in a acclimation box to help with aggression for new live stock

Of all the fish, the regal angel should go in first, as it is most timid.

Also, the harlequin tusk will clean up your clean-up crew.

pretty much with a few new addition. ...I currently have nothing in the tank so I don't know which to get first and which to get last or which to add together. I had no issues with the clown and tangs. I had a issue when I added the angel and yellow tang the brown tang chase them for a few days

The humu trigger will be an issue as it grows. I would stick with a blue throat, niger, or if you really want something nice a crosshatch. And the spruce is of dwarf lion also matters. A fuzzy dwarf or a fu Manchu would be fine with clowns but any other like zebra dwarfs and radiatas will eat your smaller stock. Also triggers would pick at lions with long fins. And unless your feeding heavily I wouldn’t recommend most angels. There are specified that are less nippy.

Those are the only big errors I see. You should be fine if you follow that. Cut down on tangs andadd the fish in the proper order
