6X2X2.5 Stocking Ideas

[SPO-00L]

Hey Guys,

Just in the process of setting up my marine tank (should be up and running in about 4-5 weeks), i wanted to put a pair of juvenile clown fish in there. What else would you suggest? there is plenty of room

Cheers, Trent

clowns are a very nice choice.

hmmm...
id look at wrasse, some reef safe ones.

Dwarf angel - coral beauty tend to be most reef safe.

Erm a tang or two - something like a regal and a yellow

group of chromis.


there a lot of possibilities with a tank that size. Are you having corals or just fish?

I'd go for maroon clowns instead of percs. They grow much larger than your regular nemo and the colours of the maroons are simply gorgeous!
Flame angels, expensive but stunning looking fish.
Tangs
Green mandarin dragonet (male and female)

Like Ben says, you have a wide choice of fish to stock. Your own limitations will be compatability with one another and whether you have corals or not, as some will nip them.

Cheers guys. I do plan on adding corals a little further down the track, but that is a little while away yet.

 

[ben1987]

well best to stock all reef safe fish right form the start then

Can blue tangs and yellow tangs be kept together?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but i just want to make sure all the fish are compatable before i start stocking. The aquarium where i usually go has closed down and the owners use to give me advise on computability issues

Cheers, Trent
