too much?

[tankedchemist]

All right, here's what I've got in my 125:

1 flame angel
2 oscellaris clowns
1 tailspot blenny
1 mandarin
1 yellow watchman goby
1 diamond goby
3 purple firefish


I intend to add a magnificent foxface and a red sea desjardini tang.

Now, if I also wanted to add another big fish-- say... naso? hippo? I'm not sure yet.... would that be pushing it? I do have a ginormous skimmer-- rated up to about 500gallons I think.

 

[Bifferwine]

I don't think that's pushing it at all -- most of your existing fish are small.

 

[wontonflip]

Man, I need to step up the fish buyin for my 125'! LOL I only have 1 clown, 1 banggai, 1 firefish, and 2 chromis!

 

[tankedchemist]

well, I started out with most of those. The only new fish are the firefish and the diamond goby.


so now the question is, what other large fish should I get? :D

 

[Bifferwine]

Pink tail trigger!

 

[andysgirl8800]

May I make a suggestion? The Lamarcks Angel is a really nice looking fish....

I 2nd AGs suggestion.:D

 

[Cathic]

We want some more please!

 

[tankedchemist]

more what Cathic?

aren't triggers non-reef safe, biff?

 

[BL1]

The Pink tail trigger is a "with caution" fish according to LiveAquaria

 

[Cathic]

More fishies with pics!

 

[Bifferwine]

There are a few triggers that are usually safe -- niger, crosshatch, bluechin/throat and pink tail. I had a pink tail for years until it was killed in a catastrophic rock slide. One of my favorite fish ever! So full of personality!

 

[tankedchemist]

ennh.... I have one "with caution" fish... I don't think it's a good idea to chance another. that's probably asking for trouble

edit:
"A 70 gallon or larger aquarium with rocks and caves provides a good environment. With caution, it can be housed in a reef aquarium, but will eat any crustacean and small fish."

That's no good... my mom loves my fire shrimp, if he got eaten, I'd probably get killed....

 

[dcantucson]

I would go with a couple big Tangs. They are guaranteed to be reef safe and are beautiful.

 

[tankedchemist]

From liveaquaria: about lamarack's angel: "They may chase small, docile planktivores such as Anthias, Fairy Wrasses, Flasher Wrasses, and Fire Gobies but will usually ignore other fish, including other Angels. Only one male Lamarck's Angelfish should be kept per tank"

so, will it chase my blenny, and gobies? and, it might leave the fame angel alone, but will the flame angel leave it alone? lol

 

[Cathic]

Powder Browns etc?

 

[dcantucson]

Get a False Eyed Tang. They are pretty rare, but beautiful.

 

[Bifferwine]

Hahahahahahahaha!

Why does it need an extra eye? Does it help it see its imaginary home?

 

[dcantucson]

It throws off predators.
