70 gallon stocking ideas

[aciak]

Currently I have a 70 gallon (3’ x 2’ x 2’) with fish that came over from two other systems. This is what’s in the tank right now: clown, yellow goby, cardinal x2 and a firefish (I also had a yasha goby I loved, but it committed suicide recently. Apparently, even just an eighth of a inch gap in the lid is enough to jump through but that’s another story)

I’d like to add a few more larger fish. I’m considering a mixture of the following. I’d like to pick 3. Maybe 4. What do you think? Im open to other suggests too!

Tomini tang
Mckoskers flasher wrasse
Melanurus wrasse
Yellow wrasse
Coral beauty
Flameback angel
Flame hawkfish

I had an angel, it chased all my fish. I have a yellow wrasse with too much energy.

I love my flame hawfish!! Got him from Fish and Coral Store. He's got character. I also have a six-lined wrasse who is stunning and super chill. I'd definitely say yes to a tang!! Maybe a butterfly fish.

I’ve heard so much about the flame hawkfish personality! Sounds like a great fish.

He's so hilarious! He's my favorite.

Bump! Anyone have other thoughts?

A small tomini should do fine. Flasher wrasses do best in a much longer tank due to their behavior. Consider a leucoxanthus or an ornate leopard (will need a sandbed). Even a pintail. Assessors would be nice. Consider the cherub angel over a flameback which can be aggressive. Avoid hawkfish which can also pound more mild mannered fish.

Anthias could be a good option.
