Fish stocking plan

[Jesse Depass]

I’m setting up a 90 gallon reef tank and just came up with the rough copy of my fish stocking plan. I have a 90 tank with a 20 gallon sump as well as a separate 20 gallon refugium. My list of fish (in stocking order) is:

-Pair of ocellaris clownfish
-Pair of fire fish
-One spot foxface
-Pair of Bengai cardinals
-Yellow watchman goby
-McCosker’s flasher wrasse
-Yellow coris wrasse
-Midas blenny
-Starry blenny
-Three carberryi anthias

I am wanting everyone’s opinions on any problems with this list or anything that I could improve about it.

Liking your Foxface choice, due to help to keep algae inline.

With the exception to clown pairs, I have never really had much long term success with other pairs or harems.
Especially those Anthais, they always seem to be trying to reset hierarchy.
Now I keep just one.
Order looks fine.

Okay, thanks. I’ll Probobly just stick to one anthias then.

I’ve decided to change up my list a bit. This is the new one:

Pair of ocellaris clownfish

fire fish

Bengai cardinal

One spot foxface

Orange stripped prawn goby

Wheeler’s shrimp goby

Blue reef chromis

Royal gramma

Vrolik’s wrasse or melanurus wrasse

McCosker’s flasher wrasse

Midas blenny

Carberryi anthias

Starry blenny

Yellow eye Kole tang

 

[Uncle99]

Ok with that list

I'm counting 15 fishes...seems like a lot for a 90 gallon. Although, they are all good choices.

Personally, I don't love foxfaces for 4' tanks, but many will disagree with me.
Kole tang + starry blenny is a possible fight. Mixing those genera can be a problem, sometimes.

Okay thanks for your opinion, I’ve decided against the starry blenny and am reconsidering the foxface
