My tank is all set up. Corals etc moved to new tank, fish from previous tank (only had two) rehomed. I had a 3rd fish previously (Tang) that got ich/velvet/who knows and went from fine, to dead during a 16 hour work day, so the progression was swift. Either way, due to that, I am running the new tank fallow for 3 months. When the tang quickly died/was discovered, the remaining 2 fish stayed in the tank, unaffected for 2+ months until today when I removed them and rehomed them, so there is a chance the Tang had nothing contagious etc, but like I said, new tank is staying fish-free for 3 months a precaution.
I don’t have the ability to quarantine now, so my plan is to get 2-3 fish and keep them hopefully for the long-haul and if I ever decide to add after that, or I lose a couple, then start a quarantine then.
I am 100% sold on a Quoyi Parrotfish, so I am looking at any 2 other fish that are hardy and can live with it.
Tank, having a small bioload leaves a lot of options, so Boxfish etc are something of interest. It is a full reef tank, so reef safe is a must. I am willing to rehome something if it outgrows the tank. Tank is 8’ long, shallow, 200g total with 160 or so display
Recommendations?
