Stocking help

working_man · Dec 30, 2017

Hello,

I inherited a 135 galloon Oceanic from my FIL which was in pretty rough shape and was basically a FOWLR that contained a Yellow Tang, a Majestic Angel (both the tang and the angel have been around a long while and are fairly large and a pair of B&W clowns. There is a picture of what it looked like before the move in this thread here. I finally got the tank moved and reestablished a couple months ago and I'm going slowly towards a mixed reef. All the fish survived the move and are happy back in their familiar home. I've added some Zoas, and one Duncan coral that so far seem to be thriving. I've also added an extensive CuC that includes some turbo snails, blue leg hermies, emerald crabs, a fire shrimp and some nassarius snails,

I would like to add one or two more fish as well and am looking for suggestions for some that would be compatible with the current tenants.

Thanks,
Chris

Nice tank! I don’t know about fish for a tank that size, but sounds like you’re off to a good start!

Chris,
You can go many ways like adding a school of blue green chromis.
I'm just concerned ;Nailbiting about your Majestic Angel not being reef safe and nipping / destroying your corals as you go along.

Freddie,

Thanks and I agree with your concern. He hasn’t been around any live corals and has been fed for the last three years so I’m hoping he will just continue to eat as he has learned. He is a pretty big boy so if he wanted to get rough he could.

Regards,
Chris
