what to add next?

[etmanning1]

last week I added a new Kole tang and coral beauty to my 90g and the two of them are doing great and getting along with everyone now.

I'd like to start looking for my last fish or two to really round out my stocking now so I can begin QT and have them ready to add in a few weeks.

This is my current list, its a 90g DT with approx. 90g filtration, so bioload will not be an issue, just aggression.

Yellow tang
Kole tang
Coral Beauty
Clown (wyoming white)
Yellow coris wrasse
Starry blenny
Diamond goby

These are the fish I had my eye on to add:

2-3 banghaii cardinals
Yasha goby or similar and pistol shrimp
flasher wrasse ( specific type unknown)

I AM getting a mandarin, I've got a ~30g remote fuge covered in pods.

what do you all think? those look good for the final stocking for this tank?

thanks

I'm not really a fan of Cardinals so for me that's off the table immediately.

maybe a trio of damsels instead? I wanted some sort of small group fish.

Why not do a trio of anthias? Bartletts or carberryi are beautiful and some of the easier anthias.

It's all personal preference but I'd take the Cardinals over Damsels from the horror stories I've heard about them. I think firefish are cool and they seem to always be in little schools at the LFS.

I like the bangaii thought. I’m thinking of Bartlett anthias myself, maybe a trio would work for ya??

 

[etmanning1]

Anthias might just be the ticket. They have trios on DD every once in a while right?

maybe this could work:

Anthias trio
mandarin
flasher wrasse

that'd be 12 fish in a 90, should be packed enough even for me

Definitely anthias. I got a Bartlett’s at aquatic obsessions that’s doing great -it’s not a bad drive from you and is a great shop. They have a great selection of well cared for fish there. They usually have anthias.

Cool, I've heard of that place before but didn't realize it was that close. Will have to check it out this weekend!

If you get cardinals get some orange striped ones. They are more active than the standard guys. I picked mines up at sealevel in pinebrook a while back
Yellowstriped Cardinalfish

I had 3 Bangaii cardinals and two paired off killing the 3rd. They really don't move just hang in the water column.

That's why I'm not a huge fan of them, they kind of just float in a spot.

Only have them cause wife and grandson like them. I said we can get another tank and put FW angel fish whats the difference. LOL

 

[DangerDave]

On the anthias, TSM has had really nice ones the last few times I was there. I like their long quarantine process.

I like the Bangaii. I got pretty recently a second one that actually paired with the older bigger one that I had for years.
And on that note I would try to get another clown to pair up. Seeing pairs of fish doing their thing is always interesting.

I actually want to get a second tomato clown to have them pair up.

@etmanning1 Have you decided what you're going to add?

 

[Rread16]

I’m in the same situation, I’m looking to add my final few fish to my 120, have something’s I’ve been thinking about, but I’m not sure how to finish up

Pretty sure it’s going to be this:

Leopard wrasse (in place of a mandarin)
Anthias trio
Flame hawk

Now to find them [emoji854]

Petco usually carries the leopard wrasses. I can't confirm but hear they r tough to keep
