75 gallon FOWLR

[Andrew]

Here what i want to have:

-russels lion
-aust. tusk
-kole or yellow tang
-dwarf angel


Is there anything else i could add to make it stocked?

[rtrice1]

First, a 75 gal tank is too small for a few of those fish. Tangs especially will grow large and will need alot of swimming room. Also, that lion cannot be housed with that dwarf angel (it will eat it). If you plan on having a lion it should be housed with other lions or venomous species.

[Andrew]

ok then:

-russels
-dwarf lion
-aust tusk
-kole tang


what else
?

[Mad Scientist]

If I were you I would consider a slighly smaller species of lion, such as the Radiata - they are just as stunning (if not more so) to look at than Russels but do not quite as big. I have a Russels in my 75gal right now, while his growth has not been as fast as a volitan, he's pretty much outgrown my tank in 2.5years.

[Andrew]

Give me a list.

[Mad Scientist]

Tusk
Radiata Lionfish
Coral beauty
Eel
longnose Hawkfish (fullgrown so as not to eaten by the lion)

I say tusk, small frogfish, small eel, and and a hawk

how about a dwarf lion, Valentini puffer, eel, and tusk?

[Chandler044]

How about a bigger tank?

The valentini would make me nervous as they are notorious fin nippers with slow moving fish. Looks ok, but IMO no valentini with the dwarf lion, one or the other.

tusk, zebra puffer, eel, some type of butterfly or fumanchu lionfish

[Andrew]

matt. Ill get one in a year. I dont want an eel. Ive already got one. ( 16'' )

Would a kole tang be fine in a 75 gallon?

Yes, just barely IME. A pretty bland tang, they are ussually included just for alage control. Do you really like this tang or are just trying to find a tang that will "fit." I have not had the best luck keeping tangs in borderline sized tanks and unless you really like this species, I'd skip the tang in the 75gal.

[bond007069]

so why would a fu manchu do better with a Velentini puffer? How large to Fu manchu's get?

[Andrew]

No puffers. I think im going to have:

1-russels lion
1-Aust. Tusk
1-Flame angel or rusty angel
1-kole tang
1-??????????

would something else fit good? Besided an eel or puffer?

[Andrew]

skip the kole. Foxface instead

[Absint Reefer]

fu manchu's get 12cm so about 5.5in Evanish do you not like butterflies a long nose would be pretty cool or a heniochus acuminatus

[Andrew]

Give me a list. I want to have a russels,foxface, and dwarf angel. What else. Work around that
