Stocking 75g

[Swbvegas]

Hi everyone,

Currently main tanking 2 year old 75g reef tank. I have 2 clownfish approx 2 years old, 1 valentini puffer( 1 year old ) and a diamond goby ( 8 months old ) , approx 60 lbs of live rock, quite a few snails, gsp , 3 large heads of pulsing xenia, a small zoa garden and a 3 headed rock anemone.

Looking for stocking ideas for fish mostly. Everything I've added in the last 6 months has thrived almost immediately.

Looking for some variety in the intermediate levels.

Thanks!

In my 75 I have 2 clowns, 5 blue green Cromis, 3 pajama cardinals, orchid dotty back, diamond goby, file fish, and a purple tang I plan on transferring as it outgrows the tank. I know that seems like a lot for a 75 gallon but I have over sized filtration and feed heavy throughout the day to keep everyone happy. The tank has been heavily stocked for 6 months with no fighting issues and everyone is happy.

Other options you could look at would be a fox face rabbit fish knowing you'll eventually have to rehome, you could look into fairy wrasses or any type of smaller wrasse. If you set up an auto feeder you could do anthias or chromis schools, id say 3 anthias (1 male. 2 female) or 3-5 chromis. You could try a flame angel or coral beauty but they are known to sometimes nip at polyps. I had a coral beauty for about 5 months before it started attacking one of my frogspawns.

If you have a sand bed and the rock scape is sitting on the glass, you could do a pistol shrimp/goby pair. I have a pair in my 20 gallon and it's by far my favorite thing to watch out of both tanks.
