Taking down my 30g want to add fish to my 120 questions

rockdiver · May 23, 2021

So want to take down my 30g in it I have 2 clowns, 1 6 line and a scopes tang. Tang someone was just going to get rid of so I took it because I think she was just going to kill it ! So I know 30g is not good....
In my 120 I have a blue throat trigger yellow tang blue head wrasse cleaner wrasse flame hawk and 3 lyretail damsels.
Can I add the 30g fish to the 120?
The clowns are good the scopas is a no I think because I have the yellow tang what about the 6 line ?
Oh the bluehead and cleaner wrasse are quite larger then the 6 line
Thanks

I'll comment on the tangs. Multiple Zebrasomes are always with caution. The larger the tank, the more hiding places, the better chance of them getting along. If this is a four foot 120, I'd say it's a bigger crapshoot. I have a five foot tank and have two Zebrasomes (Purple and Scopus). On occasion there is a little chase, but otherwise they feed together at the algae clip. You might want to start by hanging a mirror in the tank and see how the yellow responds....and keep the mirror for a while after adding the Scopus to distract the yellow while the scopus settles in.

I'll leave multiple wrasses to those that know better.

Ya thats what I thought also and why it's in the 30 but I was worried what the other person was going to do with it so I took it.
Thanks

I would rehome the 6 lone wrasse. It's just not a good idea with any other wrasses, even in a large tank.

The yellow and scopas is risky too, I agree. It might work. In a 4 foot 120, I don't like the chances. 6 foot would be better odds.

six line wrasses are such a gamble. i know people who have had great luck but we have not.. ours was nasty, such a bully.
