New fish for new tank need help

fancy_fish101 · Jun 27, 2023

I’m looking to add fish to my new tank. Here’s a list of what I want. The tank is a 75 gallon and is 4 feet long.
Fire fish, diamond goby, copper band, 2 wrasses maybe 1, 2 tangs, and then a fox face.
Tangs would be white tail and Tomini.
And I’m thinking just one wrasse will be a yellow coris.
And I will be rehoming when fox face gets to big.
What order should I add them in?

A 75 gallons tank is too small for a CB, IMO.
You don't want 2 bristletooth tangs in that size tank either.

Yeh. I was thinking just one tang for that reason but have heard some success with them.

One bristletooth and one foxface would be my suggestion.

That tank is to small for any tang unless it’s real small like a baby and your equipped to get least 200 gallon eventually

It’s a Tomini going in a 75 gallon. I didn’t get a large tang.

I would stay away from the cb until the tank is mature
They are hard to keep alone long term for most people ,
Chances are it won’t last long enough to worry about having to re home it later

Is this is the same tank you’re having issues with the thin tang ?

We wo.... slow down there tang police... Tomini tangs are the smallest tang. A 75 is fine.

It should be the ONLY tang in that tank though.

You’re kidding right lmaoooo that’s not practical and many species can live in a 75. THEY LIVE IN A 20-40 GALLON FOR MONTHS AT A FISH STORE BUDDY

I’d love to do a poll To see who on this whole
Forum has atleast one tang in their system .

Next pool would be to see out of those . Who has their tang in a min 200 gal dt .

I’d bet … there are more tangs in tanks smaller than 75’s and happy as ever .

They have less competition for good and they are less likely to be housed with other tangs

Agree .
But I was saying for the majority of people here . A larger percentage have at least one tang . And a very small percentage have them in a 200 gal min .
