copperband butterfly fish

powder blue tang

naso tang

achilles tang

canary blenny

scotts wrasse

some type of anthias

two OC clowns

mandarin


I already have a blue hippo and a sailfin tang in my 75 but i think with the above list thats to many tangs to have in a 150.

also would a pink skunk clown be okay if I got to OC clowns I have one of those guys in my 75 as well.

As long as you get an autofeeder on there, you should be fine. Most of those fish are multiple time per day eaters, especially the anthias and powder

good luck with teh achilles there difficult! and pretty rare i havent actually seen one in the flesh.

all those tangs should get on specially in a big tank, naso is peaceful, powder, hippo and sailfin are different types of tang i would reconsider achilles though check out orange shoulder, vampire or yellow tail purples there lovely tangs a bti easier to keep yt purples can be hard to find though.

ya i have heard that achilles are sometimes difficult and little bit meaner. I can get one pretty cheap (50 dollars) here in the states. I plan on ordering all of the tangs small and let them work their way up to being bigger. I just wanted the achilles to be the main attraction of the tank.. i love the look of it. I will then upgrade my tank again from a 150 to a 240 or 300 gallon sytem.

Wow, where in the name of all that is holy can you get an achilles for $50!?!?!

local fish store. He gets awesome deals. I actually bought my 150 gallon all glass aquarium with dual overflows for $75 bucks from him. It was a tank that one of his clients had and the client wanted a bigger tank so when he got his bigger tank he gave the tank to the fish store owner, thus he sold it to me for 75 bucks.

same thing with the achilles.
