Stock list for 75g

[rja]

Is there anything wrong with stocking a standard 75g with:
- 2 clowns
- Chalk Bass
- Flame Hawkfish
- Melanarus Wrasse
- Tomini Tang

Potential adds:
- Sailfin Blenny
- Watchman goby/shrimp pair
- Yellow Coris Wrasse

Looks like a good list to me.

Yes! I have a good skimmer, will be running a fuge, and likely will be adding a fleece roller by the time im at the final fish.

Thank you for the reassurance.

If the sailfin blenny is Emblemaria spp, it makes me a little nervous with the hawk and tomini tang.

I might swap the idea for a tailspot. Or some form of fang Blenny. I really just want a Blenny. Not necessarily for the algae control as the tomini should take care of that along with a robust CUC

bi-color blenny, tailspot, and midas blenny have great personalities.

I have this blenny and he got along great with the flame and now falco hawkfish (I've had him for almost a year and a half now). I would probably avoid them as they don't tend to last very long in captivity (either diet or the manner in which they were caught).

Midas blenny would get my vote for an alternative (also have one of these).

Good to know. I haven't kept that blenny.

Midas is a great fish.

Careful with the hawk fish and the pistol, lots of people have said they eat their shrimps! Thats the reason I dont have a flame in my tank is because I have a pistol shrimp

I love fang blennies. Really underutilized.

That's why I don't tempt fate by adding shrimp! :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I cant ever find one in my LFS!!! Closest I can find is a bi color blenny! They are super cool, love the blue/green one the best

LOL I love my shrimp and just get my perching fish in the form of blennies and gobies shrimps are one of my favorite critters in my tank

Great note. Perhaps I do one or the other. I think having a hawkfish will trump having a pistol shrimp. Sorry mr. shrimp.

Hit up Aquamart!...if they're still around

Oh F no!!! The one near me I went to twice, both times fish developed velvet in hours after bringing them home. And they made the place so dark it s hard to see. They just went out of business which serves them right. Owner of that shop was a point of sale and the tanks were always so nasty and had lots of dead fish. Horrible place!!!
