Stocking wish list.

[DarrenCar]

I have changed my stocking list and want to re check its compatibility and stocking order.

2 Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris ) Black Storm
1 Blue Reef Chromis (Chromis cyaneus)
1 Ignitus Anthias (Pseudanthias ignites)
1 Royal Gramma Basslet (Gramma loreto)
1 Pajama Cardinalfish (Sphaeramia nematoptera)
1 Starry Blenny (Salarias ramosus)

I am thinking,
Blue Chromis and Pajama fish in first.
Ignitus, Royal Gramma and Starry Blenny second
Clownfish last

CUC somewhere between first and second fish groups.

Any opinions ant thoughts are appreciated.

Tank size?

Tank size?

Oops forgot that info. 65 gallon.

My clowns were first in my tank and they don't seem to care who was added after. My chromis can be a little bit of meany to new fish but calms down after a couple of days.

CUC right away is fine..... feed tank if needed.

Don't keep an ignitus by itself.

Keep it in pairs? With a different anthias? Please elaborate because I have not come across this recommendation before. Thank you.

Not as a pr either. Ignitus are more social than some other anthias, so being kept singly is stressful for it.

Interesting information. What would be a better Anthias to keep singly then?

Getting a stock list together for this tank is absolutely insane. I purchased the size tank my space and budget would allow but can’t really keep any fish I desire in it.
If the community were to stock a 65 gallon 18x36 inch tank what would you all possibly put in it that’s reef safe for the future...

Assessors, dartfish, barnacle blennies, fang blenny, shrimp goby, azure damsels....

Tons of choices will work.

what fish do you want? obviously you're a bit limited, but there's a lot of options out there

How about this, change out anthias for a green canary blenny.

2 Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris ) Mocha Storm
1 Blue Reef Chromis (Chromis cyaneus)
1 Green Canary Blenny (Meiacanthus tongaensis)
1 Royal Gramma Basslet (Gramma loreto)
1 Pajama Cardinalfish (Sphaeramia nematoptera)
1 Starry Blenny (Salarias ramosus)

That would work.

 

[DarrenCar]

Now the question being what order should I add them. Will it matter? I would assume the Pajama Cardinal should go first but everything else I believe is the same temperament.

Starry blenny last, the rest don't matter.
