So I recently got a 265 gallon tank (84"x24"x30") with a 75 gallon sump that I want to have as a FOWLR tank specifically for fish like angels, tangs, butterflys, and wrasses, but I'm having issues coming up with a good stocking list. I've only had any experience with smaller tanks and fish ( I have a 30 gallon anemone and clown tank), so this is my first venture into these species. As I've been looking through lists and trying to figure out my stocking, I've come across some really interesting fish, but don't know if they'd work in the tank. Here's the list of the must-have fish that I want in the tank:
Gem tang
Flame angel
Emperor angel
White cheek tang
Koran Angel
Copperband Butterfly
Here's some of my questions I have for stocking:
1. Would a dragon wrasse (Novaculichthys taeniourus) or a candy cane/pastel ring wrasse (Hologymnosus doliatus) be compatible with smaller fish like dragonettes, dwarf angels, butterflies, or damsels/clowns and could these two wrasses be kept in the tank together since they both get big?
2. Is this tank large enough to have a breeding pair of emperor angels and what would be the best way to introduce the two angels to the tank?
3. What are some other inhabitants for you'd suggest or think would be awesome to have in the tank?
4. Any tips on introducing these fish (other than in large groups and using an acclimation box)?
