Fish List: what else to add?

[Triggerfish]

Here is my current fish list in basic order of size.
i'm looking to add 6 more green chromis and maybe another wrasse.
what else would you add. tank is standard 125 aga

Asfur angel
Bluechin trig
Tricolor wrasse
Bangaii
Coral beauty
2 ocel clowns
2 blue gudgeons
royal gramma
2 fire fish
lemon damsel
5 green chromis
yellowhead sleeper

Wow, 19 fish!
I thought I had a lot (11 in a 150).
If you don't have any problems now, I think a few more chromis is fine... I guess that's true for the wrasse as well.

 

[Triggerfish]

i'm going after an overall very busy looking reef setup. it's close but not quite there yet...maybe the additional chromis will finish it...

 

[merk1_99]

Gotta love large skimmers...Here I am concerned I will be overstocked with a yellow tang, dragon goby, LMB, a maroon pair, and some sort of wrasse in a 75...The hobby sure has come a long way in 10 yrs...

 

[Triggerfish]

would love to add another LMB...last one just seemed to be slimming down too much..showed no interest in prepared foods. not enough natural algae growth to sustain him... but i ended up accidentally killing him by not replacing an intake strainer after a power outage...... favorite fish...sucked bigtime...

maybe i'll give one more a try and keep a constant supply of seaweed select in clip...

 

[merk1_99]

My LMB doesn't eat any prepared foods either. He just picks off the rocks and glass. He is a fat little one. For such an ugly fish he sure is cute and has a lot of personality.

 

[Triggerfish]

yup..probably one of the few fish that could be classified as both ugly and cute...

 

[G.T]

Green chromis give a busy display. What about some squampinnis anthius?

 

[Triggerfish]

great idea...how you tell difference in sex with those from the top fin?
one male w/four females right?

 

[jovreef]

Males will have the longer dorsal spine but they also have a red dot on their fins & are usually a deeper red or purple color than the females.

Also what about a black LMB, I got one from foster smith a few years ago that started eating from the clip the day I put him in the tank. Every time he was hungry he'd sit on the clip as if to say "hello...dont you see its empty!?" From what I hear they accept prepaired foods easier than their brown cousins.

I like the look of Anthias with Chromis. Mine school together.....

[Triggerfish]

i'll check out the black ones...thx

i wouldn't mind adding couple bar gobies...

well,,here's the list of additions:
6 chromis
black blenny
bar goby pair
fairy wrasse
anthias(price dependent)

i think that would be it untill i see how things stabalize for 3-5 months after.

 

[ReeferMedic]

You can usually get the Dispar Anthias for $20 or less........

 

[Triggerfish]

any of these a challenge to get feeding?

 

[ReeferMedic]

Mine were shy at first, but always came out to get food. They are always out now. I had no problem getting mine to eat.......

Naso tang (4")

2 anthias (2" each)
flame angel (2")
eibli angel (2")
1 true perc (1")
7 green chromis (1" each approx)
purple fire goby (2")
