I have been putting some thought into my fish list for my new 180g. This is what I have come up with so far in the order and groups they will be added. * means a fish I already have. This list is subject to change if the availability of the fish is lacking, but these are my first choices.
This is the part of starting a new tank that I hate because in my mind a tank is not really mature until it hits 1-2 years, but if you wait to add certain fish you may end up with aggression issues. I love leopard wrasse, but they do much better in older tanks so I will probably hold off until the 1 year mark.
All fish will be quarantined and treated with coppersafe/prazipro before being placed into the display tank. I am debating whether I should put my current fish through qt again mainly because I am planning a PBT. I did qt them originally and gave them 2 rounds of prazi, but did not treat with copper. I did not nor have I ever seen any signs of ich or velvet on my fish. This was 4 years ago for my tang and wrasse, and 1 year for the rock beauty. I welcome your comments and thoughts on this list and my plans for the order of their placement. Thanks!!!
Group 1
Gramma loreto x 3
Cryptocentrus cinctus
Group 2
Hemitaurichthys polylepis x 3
Group 3
* Halichoeres melanurus
Paracheilinus carpenteri
Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
Group 4
* Holacanthus tricolor
Centropyge loricula
Centropyge potteri

at the one year mark I may add 2-3 leopard wrasse and I will also have 1-2 diamond gobies added at the 6-9 month mark.
