All those Tangs are getting along?

Hawkfish are Japanese Kamikaze Divebombers that love to sneak attack other fish. They are jerks. The hawk would be the first one id vote out

Jesus man 4 zebrosomas...
Also that’s a very heavy stocking for a 140g

Oh perfectly

Also 3 pairs of clowns will 100% fight. Only keep multiple pairs if you put like 9 clowns in

Get rid of the Gem tang. I'll take it off your hands for free

keep

I got 6 of them

I would pick out 2-3 clowns to keep, harems usually don’t work out in the long run unfortunately and especially not that many pairs in a tank that size.

which angelfish species are you talking about?

3 Ruby red dragons isn’t a great idea unless your tank is several years old with a lot of pods and you have a fuge. A pair or just one is probably a safer way to go . Plus you have to make sure you have 2 females and 1 male if you wanted to keep all three

 

[Bepis]

To answer your question though I love me a gem tang, purple tang, and golden rhomboid wrasse. Or if your able to buy a gem tang, get a half Andes flasher wrasse otherwise known as the Madagascar flasher wrasse

I think 2 pairs may be okay in a 140, provided you have enough fluffy/tentacle-y corals/nems for them to host. Just be aware that it may go south and you could be forced to catch a pair and house it somewhere else/rehome them

 

[footgal]

Ah okay flame angel, if it’s not picking at corals I’d say that’s fine. Are those two male rubies fighting or just two that are hanging out together?

How much for the Green Firetruck?
