Looking to tune in my stocking list for my 75 gallon. Have a couple PJ cardinals, YWG and pistol shrimp, and a Harptail Blenny. Saw a 2 female, 1 male Lyretail Anthias harem at a store and wanted to know if a 75 is too small, and other compatibility issues.

Would also like to add a green clown goby, and potentially a coral beauty. A flasher wrasse is also on the list of considerations.

Any thoughts, deletions, additions?

thanks

IMO it is even to small for only 1 of this specie - Pseudanthias squamipinnis - it will be around 15 cm. This is a specie that love free swimming space. There is many fishes you can have in a 75 G - my is 80 G and it is +40 individuals in that tank. But i agree - I do not always live as I learn - I have a copperband. But it is not an open space fish as most anthias are.

Sincerely Lasse
