Medium fish in 60 gallon

[bink177]

Hello, I’m creating my stocking list for my aquarium. I have a 60 gallon breeder (48x18x18) with a 20 gallon sump and a 110-int skimmer.

My current stocking list:
*One spot Foxface or Yellow Tang
*Yellow eye spotted Kole Tang
*Flame Angelfish
*Pair of Ocellaris Clownfish
*Royal Gramma

I know that the yellow tang/one spot foxface is a tricky pick. There are mixed opinions on whether these fish would work in a tank of this size.

However I see a lot of photos, videos, and proof of people who have one of these fish in their tank. The fish look fine and the people claim that they’re thriving. They would have either a smaller tank than mine or a bigger tank in gallons but with a very similar footprint.

I’ve decided that I will try to get on of these two as my centerpiece fish. Which one should I get? I like the Foxface more and I’ve heard that they’re very peaceful.

I would pass on the fox face, they get pretty big.

I would only pick one tang, you will have problems with two. i would go for the Kole in a tank that size.

Other than that everything on the list is fine.

Claim the fish thrive in that tank and them actually thriving the way they should is completely different. Pass on the foxface, again way too big of a fish for a 60 gallon. Also again, a yellow tang and a kole tang will be miserable in there together and will fight. If you have to get a tang, get the kole. As for a yellow centerpiece fish that you seem to want, lemon peel angel, raccoon butterfly (not with corals they will eat them, cant remember if you want corals or not) and a yellow coris wrasse are all good yellow fish options and appropriate for your tank not the YT and Foxface
