What Next??

[RoryJ]

Doing research on what to get next for my tank:
Tank is 110 gallon FOWLR: (Rock is not live yet)
Stock List:
2 OC
4 Green Chromis
1 Royal Gramma
1 Coral Beauty
4 Hermit crabs

Looking for suggestions on compatibility as well as Hardiness...Thank You

As a general key, grammas are usually aggressive to anything smaller than them, or submissive to things larger than them IME. I would not get one, but in a tank that big it's fine, but they should be. Introduced last.

The Chromis tend to thin themselves down to one eventually. However, I have read a few reports of successfully keeping multiples...

 

[RoryJ]

Thanks for the info..any ideas on next purchase?

 

[Reef of Fillory]

My Gramma was added to my tank first, and she gets along well with everyone. All of my fish might be out of the norm though because there is never and has never been any aggression from any of them. Love my grammas personality. Mated pair of black snowflake clowns, royal Gramma and two BG Cardinals, 2 tux urchins and a brittle start so far.

Yeah so far so good as well..gramma has only been in a few days and so far no issues..eating and playing well with others

I'm not saying what Reef of Fillory experienced isn't possible, merely saying that when it already has an established domain or spot, it may become aggressive with smaller, newer tankmates.

Sorry, I may have misunderstood. Is this what is in the tank already?

yeah

 

[sbash]

yeah

Oh well then... From the best I have read, to keep multiple chromises long term they require multiple feedings per day. Easily accomplished with a $20 auto feeder...

This is a long tank eh?

Have you considered puffers, tangs, butterflies or soldierfish? These are just some of my picks for an FOWLR (tangs aside)...

 

[RoryJ]

Its actually a 110 high..approx 48x30

I'm a fan of long nose hawkfish and green and yellow clown gobies and yellow prawn gobies for color and interesting behavior - like to perch on rocks and corals waiting for something good to happen and would be a contrast for your current fish which usually swim mid to upper water. Don't worry about gobies being small, they have a slightly toxic slime that causes other fish to leave them alone.
