Stocking New 60 Gallon Tank

[albie]

We are excited to have our Innovative Marine 60 gallon AIO tank cycling and starting to work on building a list of fish. We would really appreciate any thoughts on the following - whether you would add or take away anything, order to stock the tank etc.

5 threadfin cardinalfish
2 ocellaris clownfish
flame angelfish
Midas blenny
goby - any recommendations as to variety?
blue spot jawfish

I recommend swapping the Blue Spot Jawfish for a Yellowhead. The reason for this is because Blue Spots are temperate species and so longevity in our warm water reefs is essentially impossible.

Thanks for the info!

From what’s I’ve heard threadfin cardinals don’t live for that long, but I may be wrong, so do some research on that before getting it

go with any shrimp goby and a candy cane pistol shrimp.

OK, will do. I’m just struggling to find schooling fish that don’t all kill each other!

That’s the case with pretty much everyone, I’ve got 7 chromis but then one of them just disappeared after a month and now I have 6 which surprisingly have been doing good for the last four months. I’m planning on getting 4 lytretail anthias as well, then the aggression from the other group will also help them school a little tighter as well. Hoping it all works out
