Fish list thoughts and suggestions

[Muddy357]

Well i figure I should start making a fish list for the 175 bow front so that way I can have everything planned out. Here is what I have so far.

 

Blue Hippo Tang

Sohal Tang

Sailfin Desjardini Tang

Chevron Tang

One Spot Foxface

Pair of Green Mandarine's

Royal Gramma

Bicolor Blenny

Pair of premium picasso clowns

and a wrasse or 2 but I have decided on which one's

 

Any suggestions on other species or order in which to add them to the tank would be greatly appreciated.

Great list... I would add a few cleaner shrimp. Cool to watch them clean a tang.

 

Is this FOWLR or reef or what?

This is going to be a mixed reef tank I plan on having 4 or 5 skunk cleaner shrimp, as for cleanup crew there will be hermits, emerald crabs, and snails.

cleaner shrimp do best if kept 2 per tank- anymore than that and they start to kill each other off. if you need another pair of shrimp, go with fire shrimp. the royal gramma will tend to be a bully and will possibly cause issues with the mandarins and red lip blenny. if you go with mandarins, you'll almost certainly have to use ORA tank bred because they will accept artificial foods whereas wild caught will usually only eat live 'pods or they will starve to death over a few months. depending on which wrasse you get, you might have a conflict with them eating the shrimps. if you're thinking fairy wrasses, they have issues in captivity like jumping and aggression to each other.
