I'm not being serious. At least not yet. Especially with the male clown and gramma which I still like. The female clown is the only bully in my tank and the cardinal just doesn't fit in and is so boring.
The list kinda reminded me of Tanked……. no hard feelings @Fishfreak2009 lol I really like your list. Wish I could keep a tank with that many! Just surprised me to see a huge list lol. Definitely you need leopards!
Oversized skimmer, vodka and microbacter 7 dosing, regular water changes, lots of food. Honestly once you have enough fish, they pretty much stop fighting as nobody really gets picked out as an individual target. And a big refugium helps keep those copepod numbers up for plenty of food for the mandarin and wrasses, plus all the caulerpa in there makes great food for the tangs, angels, and rabbitfish in the fowlr, and sucks the nitrates out. All the fish with asterisks are what I currently have in the 75, each asterisk represents 1 fish. Nitrates stay around 10ppm, phosphates 0.3-0.4. Currently battling a bit of hair algae, but that's in response to me spiking the nutrients to get rid of dinoflagellates. I'd been overdosing vodka and Microbacter7 and managed to drop both numbers to 0.
Lol, I can see that. I just stock my tanks really heavily. Only I put stuff through quarantine and make sure it is healthy and able to handle the bustling display before it goes in. If it's too shy, it stays in 1 of my quieter, less busy systems. I also don't put fish completely incompatible with one another, and don't put in fish that get way too large for me to properly house.
I'd do the 5'. Anampses are very gentle fish, and I could easily see a coris destroying it.
Wow. I think I have most of that though I think I’d need to add more rocks for more hiding spots. thinking about it does seem like I’m getting less aggression with every fish. Like it used to be that a new fish was bullied by everyone the first few days. Now it’s only the female clown.
Thanks again!
That is quite a list. There will be a lot of action in that tank. I was at the lfs today and he had two of the bimac hogfish. They were quite atractive. I didn’t know much about them so i left the store empty handed. I was proud of myself for not spending anything. But my dark side took over and i called him and put a hold on this:
The bimac hogs and peppermint hogs are pretty good usually. Sometimes they go after shrimp, sometimes they get a bit nippy, and they can get more territorial as they grow, but they're usually nice fish overall. I had spawning pair of bimacs in a tank years ago, and their mating dances every night where spectacular. They didn't bother anything except the big dorsal banner on my Heniochus, it was irresistable to the male.That is quite a list. There will be a lot of action in that tank.

Makes 2 of us.
What variant was the scottorum?
Still a juvenile/female so hard to tell
Had to look that one up. Quite ugly, and I can see why they aren't seen in the hobby very often.
Nah, they're not ugly. Just unique. Very underrated and a shame they aren't commom in the hobby.
Not the images that came up for me. Similar, but the ones I saw were just an ugly green color. Kind of like if a tile fish was green.
