Edwin's Dream 180 (6x2x2) planned build...

[Hockeynut]

Looks good Edwin,

Wanted to get some comments for my stocking list....

Here is what I have:

1 coral beauty
2 picassos
2 snow flakes
1 purple tang
1 Blonde Naso
1 Regal blue tang
3 lyretail anthias
1 mandarin

Wanted list

Angels:
Red Sea Regal Angel

Wrasse
Male Rhomboid
Male Flame
Male Melanrus
Male Flasher Wrasse

Tang **heard they could mate into a hybrid
Gold Rim
Achilles

Maybe
3 barlett anthias harem

I know it seems like a lot .. but i would pare down based on inputs. I upgraded for the tangs so I really do want 5 of them in their (give me reason to upgrade to a 300DD in the future) LOL

I would not add both of those tangs...too similar and both are on the scrappy side. Think with that size tank 4 will be OK but would avoid just those two. All the others are different and play well enough with others. It is certainly going to be a beautiful bunch of fish.

Thanks James.... I agree with you.. Maybe I just get the hybrid Achilles\Gold rim... and be done with it

Nice list!

My lineatus and rhomboid battled and after a year the lineatus killed the rhomboid. That being said I've seen people keep them together successfully. If you want to try them I'd suggest adding the rhomboid first.

any issues with two pairs of clowns?

Yes!!!!!!! even in a 6 ft tank. it didnt work. Crips (percula) bloods (ocellaris) thing i guess. I had to get the pcassos out for there own safety. they are in there new home courtesy of jgraz (a 15x15x12 frag tank)

Thanks. I was concerend about that too. based on ur feedback and mnats.. im concerned with the lineatus. But it has soo much more color compared to the rhombiod. Any feedback would be great. which one did u like best

 

[Mike S]

Hard to say. Neither were what I would call supermales but I'd give a slight nod to the lineatus. Then again I've never seen a full blown male rhomboid in person. I have read that the female/juvenile lineatus are on the more aggressive side and wondered if I just had an unruly teenager. I've added several fish including a few wrasses in the past few months and it has completely ignored them. I may try an exquisite wrasse and see how he reacts to it.

LOL.....I like "the Hood" reference of the Crips and Bloods. In my day, it was the Sharks and Jets.

 

[Brando457]

Also any issues w/ the mix of anthias? I really really like your list so much that I am going to copy some of it .
