Fish stocking for waterbox 150.4 (100 gallon display)

[Joshi]

Hello everybody, first time posting here lol. Was wondering if someone saw an issue with my stocking list for a new 100 gallon tank. I have some fish that I'm transferring over from a 15 gallon and 40 gallon breeder, but would like to add a few more. If anyone can point out any concerning compatibility issues or size issues that would be great. Below if the planned stocking list and order I would put them in:

(2) Paired Bangaii Cardinal
(currently in 40g)
(1) Large Skunk Cleaner shrimp
(currently in 40g)
(1) Mandarinfish
(1) Large Fire shrimp
(currently in 15g)
(1) Tailspot Blenny
(Currently in 15g)
(2) Clownfish
(Currently in 40g)
(1) Melanurus Wrasse
(1) Flame hawk fish
(1) Yellow tail damsel
(Currently in 15g)
(1) Tomini tang

Currently have a lot of rocks and cave work in 100 gallon, as well as open swim space. I would also have to make sure the pod population meets demand lol, but am willing to set up a separate pod station. The damsel is also kind of peaceful, haven't had any issues even in tight quarters. My main concern would be the size of the melanarus and the tang. Any thoughts?

10 gallons per fish . I would avoid large fish.

The hawk fish wont play well with the shrimp.

Yea, I have since modified the list. I will no longer be including the mandarin, shrimps, or Tomini. Added a firefish Goby.

In a waterbox 150.4 you actually have a 126 gallon display I believew with like a 30g sump, I was looking at that and a 130.4 which is how I know. You should have no problems keeping 2 maybe even 3 tangs in that size of a tank. Personally I have a 130.4 with a 96g display and have had no problems with my blue and yellow tang (Im aware I will have to rehome the blue tang) alongst with my other fish like golden angel and so on. Damsels can be evil, flame hawk is the least risky hawkfish to go with a shrimp but still may eat it eventually. Melanarus wrasses also tend to eat inverts, I personally like the yellow coris wrasse.

I personally don't see any reason to revise the list, other than the mandarin which would have to go in once established and the damsel. The flame and shrimp may be an issue but if you want to take the risk you can. The 10g per fish rule seems pretty outdated tbh. If we still went by that then nobody would have nano tanks only being able to keep a single fish in a 15g
