Fish suggestions - 75gallon 3ft

[Daniel91]

Hi there,

Looking for open suggestions 3ftx2ft tank. How would you stock this tank?

Preferably a mix of colors, reef-safe and less unique specimens, so I have the chance to actually buy them :)

Congrats on the new tank! Here are some options to consider, I would not recommend any tangs in a 3-foot tank:

• pair of clowns, perhaps maroons for a departure from the norm. I have goldflake maroons in my frag tank and love them (pic below)
• wrasses
• dwarf angel (flame and coral beauty are reef safe in my experience, just keep them well fed)
• Blenny (starry, scooter, midas)
• gobies
• anthias
• damsels (add these territorial buggers last, but a small group of damsels is a nice way to add color and movement to a tank)
• Inverts
  • cleaner shrimp
  • pithos crabs
