Choose my fish for my upgraded tank!

[The Shrimp X]

Ok i am upgrading from my 29 gallon reef tank thants been up for 1year and 3 months, to a 75 gallon (48X18X21)Starboard RR tank with 30 gallon (36X12X16) sump/fuge. It is going to a Mixed reef, a few softies (only zoos, polyps, and maybe a leather), Some LPS corals, mostly SPS corals, and of course im going to have some clams.

I will be keeping the fish and inverts i have now which are:
Pair of Ocellaris Clowns
FireFish Goby
Royal Gramma
Fire Shrimp
Peppermint Shrimp
Pair of Porclean Anemone Crabs
Emerald Crab
misc. snails
misc. hermits


I might add a Golden Dwarf Moray (Gymnothorax melatremus)

I want everyone to help me choose some more fish for the tank, i want the fish to be reef/clam/SPS/LPS/softy safe. I want the fish to add some benefit to the tank, like algea or pest control.

so have fun every one!

kole tang.

[The Shrimp X]

is that all?

I thought about it, i do like the Kole tang alot, any other fish i might be able to add? any other thoughts?

[GregM779]

I would do a pair of true perculas instead of the other, I like the look better. Chromis are always cool, like 3 or more. I always suggest checking out wrasses. Below is a pic of a Lineatus Wrasse from my tank, he's in the middle.

[The Shrimp X]

well the list of fish a actually have made is

Pair of Ocellaris clowns (i already have them)
firefish goby (already have)
royal gramma (already have

kole yellow eye tang
5 green/blue chromis
six line wrasse
dwarf golden eel (not for certain yet)
and a few small gobies possibly.

[droptine]

Why not pass on the eel, and go for dwarf angel of some sort?

[The Shrimp X]

Most likely i will not get the eel, beacuse i do not want to have a glass cover, and dont want to have it go carpet surfing.

[RocketSeason]

six-lines will carpet surf too though.

try maybe a Regal blue tang? it will probibly get to big for the tank though... I have always thought that fewer fish, with one nice "show fish" was a good way to go. And then maybe something small and cute that would be a nice suprise to visitors. like a neon blue goby.

in that case the list would go:

1 Regal Blue Tang
1 neon blue goby
2 Ocellaris Clowns
1 firefish
1 Royal Gramma

[The Shrimp X]

well so far my list goes, 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 firefish goby, 1 royal gramma, 1 kole yellow eye tang.

some sort of fish that add some benefits to the tank would be nice?

[The Shrimp X]

oh forgot to add the school of 5 blue/green chromis in there, actually now that i think about it that miht be all i will put in.

[SBJim]

Algae eater like a Lawn mower blenny?

[RocketSeason]

yeah, with the addition of a school of chromis you are maxed out I think.

[eljefe]

I love my 6 lined wrasse, its my fav fish so far, highly suggested

[fishermania]

Here are a few suggestions of small fish that will school, stay, and look cool.

(these are the fish that i will get for sure)
Pair- Ocellaris clowns
1 - FireFish Goby
1 - Royal Gramma
5 - Blue/Green Chromis
1 - Kole Yellow Eye Tang

(possibly a pair of sixlines.
