72G fish ideas??

[Calebb8133]

I want to add another fish to my tank! I have a 72 bow front with two clowns and an anemone, raccoon butterfly, flame angel, neon damsel, royal gramma, and melenarus wrasse. Would like to add one more 4-7inch fish don’t I have done so much research on this and I don’t know what to do!! I had a kole tang and for a while (like a month ) he did good until he got sick... don’t wanna talk about it... anyway I want a nice fish and am open to just about anything! If there is any fish u guys love and have a lot of success with please let me know Thanks for all your suggestions!

Exquisite wrasse?

If the melanurus isn't too big or established, i would think that it would be fine.

That raccoon butterfly is going to get way too big for that tank. As for the other fish to add, how long has the Melanurus been in there and how big is it? They can be jerks to new wrasses once established.

Most websites and people disagree on the raccoon but that’s ok if he gets to big I will replace him. The wrasse has been in the tank for almost 2 months and I think is pretty well established... I was looking at a chocolate tang? They r beautiful easy to take care of invert safe and gets a perfect size sounds like a good option??

He is about 3-4 inches

Tank isn't big enough for a chocolate tang, especially any Acanthurus genus tang.

If you try to add another wrasse, use an acclimation box to see how they act.

That’s interesting u say that because I understand because it gets 10iches but 4 out of 6 websites say a 70-75G would be fine for him

In that case though do u have any suggestions? Idk if I want another wrasse. I have one that’s good, something different now.

What websites recommend 70 gallon for chocolate tang (Acanthurus pyroferus)?

Possibly places that sell them...and are recommending that as a minimum for the currently 2" fish maybe.

Flame hawk?

Anything bigger? I want it to be a “feature” fish along side my raccoon butterfly

I wouldn’t use that website for any tank size recommendations that humu gets a foot long.

Humu humu triggers grow big. I have a 8 inch one in my 125 and he seems a little cramped.
