Hello, looking at restocking my 125g tank after an almost wipe out case of ich. Tank has been in fallow and last fella (longnose hawkfish) has been in qt (being copper treated), being quarantined. What your thoughts on the below please :

Longnose hawkfish (already have this)
6 line wrasse
Royal gamma
Foxface rabbit
2xclowns
Yellow eye kole tang
2 spot bristletooth tang

And maybe if I have space lavender tang?

Is that too much?

I was going to qt, the Foxface, royal gamme, clowns and wrasse in a 13gallon qt...would that be OK for the 8 or so weeks of qt?

6 Lines don’t like other wrasses + can be aggressive though I’ve heard of ones not that bad. If you want to keep other wrasses maybe not a good idea.

A mixed Black and White + Orange Ocellaris pair would be my choice. Not a fan of most of the “designer” Clowns.

2 Bristletooth Tangs, not sure. I’d probably do a smaller Zebrasoma, a Bristletooth and a Lavender (a smaller Acanthurus) for a 125.

Royal Gramma is good.


Blennies, dwarf angels (you can do a pair or harem in a 125), Anthias, Halichoeres wrasses, Fairy Wrasses, Flasher Wrasses, Leopard Wrasses (more difficult), relatively peaceful Chrysiptera damsels, are all options.

One of the 2 bristle tooth tangs or a tomini
Starcki damsel
3-5 lyretail anthias
Ditch the 6-line for a fairy wrasse or two
Watanabe angel
Radiant wrasse
