This is true lol
Starting to look at livestock options. Scrolling through Liveaquaria, here's what I like(not all of them, just listing the ones I like)
Orange Shoulder Tang
Hippo Tang
Powder Blue Tang
Trio of Lyretail Anthias(MFF)
Redhead Solon Wrasse(not sure if it needs sand or not)
Elibi Red Stripe Angel
Blue Chromis
Blue Throat Male Trigger
Harlequin Tusk
I know theres a lot of big fish on this list and not all of them will make the cut, just listing my options.
I'm up for suggestions on personal favorites. What other kind of smaller fish would fit well?

I love the Orange shoulder, mine is about 6" the Orange is just starting to become bright, he is still fairly pale also but great personality imo. Chromis are great but expect to loose a couple, I have tried multiple times and still have only managed to keep a pair, the same pair. Also have the powder blue again great personality, colors are nice and bright.
Banded Cat Shark
I love the Orange tang too. I used to have one but it was short lived, he died from internal parasites
he was beautiful tho. Very bright orange stripe.Ya know? I've always wanted one but I think my tank is a little too small lolBanded Cat Shark
I love these guys! They are reef safe with caution tho. Says they like to munch on snails and inverts which I don't even have a sand bed so I don't think I'll have many of them
Does anyone know if the Redhead Solon wrasse requires sand? Live aquaria didn't mention it so I just wanted to double check
I had a buddy who had one in a 110 even when it was over 2 ft long. A 150 would be fine for it. Matter of fact, I have a egg that's almost hatched in my 75 lol. Once it gets bigger, I'm gonna set up the 150 I have and that'll be its permanent home.
And no to the sand. Not required. A plus, but not required. I kept one in a bare bottom tank for a while until I sold it.

I would love to, but they're not Reef safe at all I don't believe and I know I'm gonna go back to having corals eventually lol plus won't it eat little fish?
It takes a long time before they can eat any fish, and even then, usually only smaller fish. My buddy's 110 was a reef lol. With tons of fish. It will eat snails/hermits/crabs/shrimp though. So that is one concern. But it won't mess with corals. I'm okay with repopulating my CUC, because I get the stuff at wholesale cost. Most snails/hermits cost about 20 cents when I buy em in bulk. So, that's something else to keep in mind!
I hear ya. I'm talking to a guy right now on FB that use to have a pair of them in his 150 for a couple years. Says he had no problem with them regarding other fish and whatnot
I think over the next week or so I'm gonna pick up a few chromis and see how they do. The turbo snails I bought are doing well. Cleaning a lot. I also got 5 trouches snails to help with cleaning. So far everything is good
Where did you find the trochus snails?
Aquarium Center had a few yesterday
Thanks
Yes sir
