How Many Fish?

[N4sty T4te]

Include your total water volume, and generalized info on fish types and size, and types of coral you keep. Very curious to see how others have their systems stocked!

It depends exactly on the size, and temperament and other factors that go into exactly how many fish you are able to get.
I'd say anywhere from 15-20

I wish more people were responding to this thread. I'm still working on stocking my 120 and curious what other people have.

Right now I have 5 wrasse (2 still in QT), 1 kole tang, 2 percula clowns, and a mandarin.

I also have a regal angel in my 40g "reef" QT who (as far as I know) hasn't eaten in 9 days...so not sure she will make it to the main tank :/

I was thinking I would be done after the regal or one more "big" fish if the regal doesn't pull through. But, I've also tossed around the idea of a few nice anthias. I feed 3-5 times a day as it is.
