I recently got a 75 gallon tank and was wondering what to put in it. I talked with ChatGPT for the past three days and this is the list that I ended with. Is it right or is it completely wrong?
  • Royal Gramma
  • Firefish Goby
  • Orange Stripe Cardinal
  • Ocellaris Clownfish (x2)
  • Blue Green Chromis (x4)
  • Starry Blenny
  • Ruby Finned Fairy Wrasse (male)
  • Purple queen Anthias (1 male, 3 females)
  • Cleaner Shrimp
  • Scarlet Hermit Crabs (x3)
  • Pom-Pom Crab
  • Nassarius Snails (x6)
  • Feather Duster
  • Toadstool Leather Coral
  • Kenya Tree Coral
  • Green Star Polyps
  • Zoanthids
    • HML Red and Green Bouquet Zoanthids
    • HML Bloodshot Zoanthids
  • Mushroom Corals
    • HML Black Plague 226 Mushroom
    • HML Toxic Green Rhodactis
  • Hammer Coral
    • HML Oddball Splatter Double Hammer
  • Clove Polyps
    • Clove Daisy Polyp

List looks fine. I'm not 100% sure on the number of chromis, but I think it is okay. I would also maybe add 1 or 2 more cardinals. You will also want a larger cleanup crew than just 3 hermits and 6 snails.

Purple queen Anthias (1 male, 3 females)
I would select different anthias. I have heard that these are quite finicky and not as hardy as some of the other anthias. I guess this would depend on your experience level.
  • Pom-Pom Crab
I would hold until the tank is a little more mature. Their pompoms are anemones which can be sensitive to parameter swings.

Once parameters begin to stabilize I would start with the soft corals and then work your way up to the hard corals. Note that kenya trees, green star polyps, and cloves can easily take over your entire tank unless isolated and watched.

AI just repeats what it is read and fills in blanks that match what it has already read (for lack of more detailed explanation. It does not use logic or reasoning in the way that you assume it might

Examine both of those AI responses closely. Why do they differ? Which one is correct?

You should post something outlandish and see if newly trained AI’s will state it. lol

The gsp, kenya trees, and clove polyps are known to be pretty invasive. I would urge you to reconsider including those. I had pretty good luck confinging gsp to a rock for a year or so, but I'm glad I have removed it from my system.

Thank you, in which order should I add the fish and how far in between if you don’t mind
I typically like to place 1 fish at a time (unless a pair), and monitor my bio load before adding an additional fish. If you're adding fish to the system for the first time, I think you are fine. I would probably hold off on the clowns or at least put them in last as they can be a bit bullish.

I am not going to comment on what your feeding, but it absolutely boggles my mind that you might skip or do light feeding on any given day.

Fish need food every day, multiple times per day is almost mandatory in most cases.

This also appears to be in the planning stages, so I think you can safely ignore any calc, alk, mag dosing, you need to get things up and running and see what your consumption is first... Certainly okay to plan, and with data from your tank then you can figure out what to dose.

You would also do well to research all of the items in that list, as others have stated some of these items can be invasive, and indeed hard to rid yourself of after the fact. AI is a great tool, but you need to "own" the information.

I was told recently that I lot of whatI post is outlandish :face-with-spiral-eyes:

Maybe ask it which person types more about bacon than any other. lol

"If" your Chromis survive Uronema, they will probably pick each other off one by one. If it was me, I'd skip them altogether. ;)
Agreed.

I had (and think still have) the same fish on my livestock plan, but the more and more I read about them, the less and less I think I want them.

The goal was one set of schooling fish with those gorgeous colors, and I was going to do 3 - 4 in my 50 AIO display tank, but between uronema and the fact they seem to like to kill each other off, that's too much stress and money down the drain for my liking - their projected mortality rates are just too dang high.

Purple queen Anthias (1 male, 3 females)
Just find me 2 people, who have kept them alive over 1 year.

Why in the (beep) would that fish be recommended? OH I forgot. It's a bot program!

No queen anthias until you are ready to make a system for that fish.
