Fish Capacity

[stefday]

I am starting to think of very slowly introducing new fish.


I currently have two humbugs, a 6 line wrasse,royal gamma, jewel blennie, potters angel and a flame back angel ( getting on very well) in a 3ft 250 litre tank. It has 70llbs 0f live rock. I also have an external uv filter that holds 25 litres .

I saw a pair of maroon clowns in a lfs which caught my eye. Would they be a safe addition and if so do they need any special attention? If they are not suitable could any body suggest any alternatives?

I would like to add in time a cardinal, a blue cheek goby, a randal shrimp goby and a yellow tang. What is the fish capacity for this tank?

potters angel will might have a go with them as they have fancy fins so he will probably go for them

most of those would be fine..I would be wary about trying to squeeze in the yellow tang but. As scott says the angel may show some interest in them and unfortunately your humbugs definately will. Maroons however can be nasty, i've spilt blood to a large female's bite, and should soon stake their place in the tank.
Heavy stocking will mean increased water changes however and an eye will have to be kept on your parameters as well...
Maroons get quite large as well..ever considered pink skunk clowns???
