Fish Suggestions

JenB · Feb 23, 2016

So I finally have "my" tank. We have a total of 3 tanks now but this one is MINE lol. This tank is a 93gal cube. Will have a Radion Pro30 wide lense. Looking for some fish suggestions - don't want clowns in this tank - We already have a 220gal and a 72gal both have clowns.. I love anthias and also have some in the other two tanks - but.. would love to have a bunch in the cube but was thinking they need a bigger tank?

So let your suggestions flow! Will be a reef tank - so reef safe is a must :) And I love bright colors

Flame Angle and Copperband Butterfly are my .02. Those are pretty hit or miss as far as I know, my LFS keeps a Copperband in one of their reefs and she seems to do fine and not nip at corals.

You could a light load anthias tank with a few female lyretails and a male

Maybe throw in some bottom dwellers (blenny, gobies) and one show fish either a dwarf angel or as said above a copperband or a smaller tang tomini or kole

Squammipinnis and bartlett are both hardy anthias, but can be a bit feisty with one another. Instead, I recommend dispar and randalls anthias. Both are a hardier, more peaceful species.

Dwarf angels can be reefsafe, but can also nip at corals, they are a risk.

Wrasses add color and activity. There are appropriate wrasses in every price range. Look into flasher, fairy, and small Halichoeres wrasses.

Royal gramma, midas blenny, firefish, zebra dartfish, purple tilefish, watchman goby/pistol shrimp, jawfish, are all possible additions.
