How big is the tank (dimensions over volume - fish couldn’t care less about the volume but do care a lot about the length/width/height to swim)?Has anyone kept a peppermint hogfish (b.sepiacaudus)?
I like the red colour (since I prob can't get flame hawkfish cause I want inverts)
60g tank, live rock, 30g sump with red sea skimmer and roller mat. Mainly softies and LPS for corals. The tank has a cover.
Currently:
Occ clowns
Blue green chromis
Bangaii cardinalfish
Yellow wrasse
Lineatus wrasse
Leopard wrasse (m meleagris)
Trochus and turbo snails
Also interested in:
Australian stripey (like how they look, easy to get here and aiptasia control!)
Firefish
Flasher wrasse eg carpenters, mccoskers
Mandarin dragonet
Dwarf angel - eg pygmy or coral beauty
Royal gramma or Blackcap basslet
What are your thoughts? Would it suit current or some of the future occupants?
Trying to get various colours and levels and peaceful
I know I can't put all of those fish in, but levels are great. Testing every second day and 0 ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
Any suggestions on which would work best together?
Thanks!!

I personally wouldn’t as these are a somewhat aggressive species and generally dislike other similar or more peaceful species.It's a Waterbox marine x 90.3
Dimensions (mm): 900 W x 500 D x 550 H
Thanks for any advice
Should do fine!Would a yasha goby and candy cane pistol shrimp do good in a 15 gallon with a pair of clowns?
That tang is way too big and aggressive for a tank that size. Everything else is fine.55 gallon mixed reef
2 black ice clownfish
1 blond naso tang
1 spotted mandarin goby
3 yellow fin damsels
1 cleaner shrimp
if it makes a difference, it is only about 3" at the moment and will go into a 180 gallon within a year?That tang is way too big and aggressive for a tank that size. Everything else is fine.
A 5’ tank seems big but honestly, 5 tangs is IMO pushing the limit of fish altogether. These are high activity and large fish (I mean, yellows and purples are tea plate size when their fins go up and Regals are long and hyper swimmers). I would keep to 6-7 fish max if you plan to keep those fish.5x2x2 tank DT that’s mixed reef (shooting for more SPS than LPS).
Current stock list:
3x Yellow Tang (2.5”)
Blue Regal Tang (3”)
Purple Tang (4”)
Melanurus Wrasse (3”)
Typical CUC
Adding 3x Bimac Anthias soon.
Future possible wish list:
2-3 more tangs
Pair of clowns
Yellow Coris wrasse
Maybe small school of chromis
My questions - how many more Tangs can I keep comfortably?
Also, planning (not hard pressed on it) on adding a juvie Naso once the other Tangs grow another couple inches as the last Tang to add (after another 1 or so depending on how much room there still is by this thread’s advice).
Thanks!
Thanks. That's what I was worried about.I personally wouldn’t as these are a somewhat aggressive species and generally dislike other similar or more peaceful species.
6-7 tangs max? Or fish period?A 5’ tank seems big but honestly, 5 tangs is IMO pushing the limit of fish altogether.

I would go for a small species of wrasse personallyThanks. That's what I was worried about.
Would there be any peaceful red coloured fish suitable for my tank? Flame hawkfish type red but they eat inverts apparently
Fish altogether, you have to remember you’ve got some huge tangs in your tank currently who are eventually going to be all over the tank. Leave it at that, don’t add any other fish, if you must add another fish go for a bottom dweller like a Goby but no other hyperactive species in the water column.6-7 tangs max? Or fish period?
