[muggle0981]

Hi

mixed reef-softies-lps

180g

right now

2 clown fish
Coral beauty
Yellow coris wrasse
3 green chromis
Scopas tang
Blue yellow belly regal
Orange shoulder tang
Fire shrimp

final additions?

3 chalk bass and a fairy wrasse of some sort

would that be over stocked?

No, not at all, and with the exception of perhaps the orange shoulder - none of them will outgrow that tank.

I'm not a huge fan of chalk bass and fairy wrasse - they often come through the supply chain pretty stressed out. If you can buy pre quarantined ones, that would be better, otherwise give them a comprehensive quarantine protocol before adding them to your main tank.

Chalk basslets are awesome! Very tough, nice colors and cool grouper behaviour. In my tank they spawn every evening and never bother any other fish.
Only thing is that smaller shrimp might get chased or eaten. Mature sized cleaner shrimp for example are left alone.

Would a fire shrimp be safe

Would a fire shrimp be safe

If it's a decent sized one, I think so.
