Stocking a 75g

[DYIguy]

I moved some smaller fish from 2 other tanks- chromis, blennies, a watchman, damsels. Since it's really not big enough for tangs I was thinking about multiple wrasses- have a pair of pin tails on order, would adding another wrasse work- maybe a coris? Suggestions?

Tang is a must. Do a center piece you like then add a few compatible ones. Some fish can be bullies try to avoid them. A lot of wrasses will happily kill another wrasse so be careful there.

I don't see any tangs that are good for a 75g, unless I want to move up in tank size or rehome it at some point

I have a very happy kole tang, and a very happy copperband in a 75

Kole tang is ok. I have a mimic tang that is doing well in my 3D’ 70g. I know it’s doing well because it does not pace back and forth. When it gets bigger I will need to rehome it. In my experience zebrasomas don’t do well in smaller tanks they’re aggressive in a small tank. Even then a smaller specimen should do well.

You can do a tomini tang would be perfectly happy in a 75

Anthias of some sort?

I've read that they need several feedings a day and feed in the water column- so free swimming pods I'd think- anyone have them and can give some insight- maybe @ericrodriguez , you were looking into the a while ago

I second the Tomini Tang

They eat better in the flow colum for sure!!! They eat same day as well

Some anthias are easier than the others. But all require at least frozen one or twice a day.

Leopard wrasse are a good choice if you plan to have a sand bed. Make sure you get one already eating in the store. They are smaller than coris and more suitable for a 75g.
