Fish for a 75 gallon aquarium.

[JTN54]

Hi everyone!
My question is pretty simple. What kind of fish could I stock a 75 gallon tank with?
I currently have a 55 with two clownfish, two chromis, and one flame angel. I’m definitely going to try my hand at a snowflake eel but I wanted to get other opinions on what I could stock.
Thank you.

I wouldn't mix predator and prey. Especially if you intend on coral.

Well I’ve heard mixed stories with snowflake eels. Some people haven’t had problems and some people have. I guess it just depends on the personality of the eel.

Are you planning a predator tank or a community fish reef?

Community reef. But if you don’t think I should take a leap of faith with a snowflake eel, I’d love to hear your suggestions on other fish. I was maybe thinking about a Tang or Foxface.

In a 75 you could probably do a bristletooth tang (kole, White tail, tomini) if you added it last. I'd also suggest staying away from a snowflake eel unless you're comfortable with it eating any of the fish in that tank and periodically restocking all your inverts.

Tomini tang or Bristletooth tang would be about the only tangs you could keep in a 75

I wouldn't add a predator to a community tank. 75g is really 55g with rocks. You could add 10 to 12 small to mid size fish. I have 12 in mine. Get fish that are top swimmers, mid tank and bottom dwellers. Get a few that keep your tank pest free like 6 line and yellow coris. I tried a white tail bristletooth in mine early on but 3 foot tank was to small. 4 foot maybe for one off those. Lots of cool small colorful fish to choose from.
