Stocking advice

Bjohn · Feb 11, 2013

Hey guys.
I have a 37 gallon tank, that I have partially stocked. Currently I have 2 clowns, a bangaii cardinal, and a blue hippo tang (which will be moved when it outgrows the tank). Any ideas of what else I can add to the tank? It currently also has some Lps and soft corals, but I'm hoping to make it a mainly sps and Lps tank. I was also thinking of adding a six lined wrasse and a golden headed sleeper goby.
Thanks in advance!!

Any corals?

In a 37 I would say your pretty well stocked if you want to keep the water clean enough to have much success with sps. You can add more but the tank will become very maintainance heavy and you will need some reallly good equipment.

I would stay away from the gold head sleeper. You probably don't have enough sand bed for one. Other kinds of gobies would work, like a watchman. If you add a six line, add him last and make sure he can't jump out.

Personally, I wouldn't add anything until you remove that tang -- the more cramped it becomes, the more aggressive it will be towards any newcomer. Plus, factor in the stress to it and your other fish when you remove it.
