Saltwater Reef Tank Problems
what fish can i put in my saltwater tank?
i have a 110 gallon Reef Tank… with 2, 4inch blue tangs and a 1 4inch yellow tang… and a 3 1/2inch cinnamon clown fish… i want to add some more fish like a foxface (2-3inch) and a powder brown tang (3-4inch) and maybe some anthias fish… can i add these fish without any problems if not what fish can i add without any problems?… BTW the tank is 2 years old…
There are some other fish but they are small and hid and i don’t see any territorial problems with them, but the other fish i think there might be a problem… help me, tell me what kind of fish i could add to my tank!!!
110 gallons? that’s only 5 feet long right?
when those tangs grow up they’re going to be a handful as it is, i wouldn’t add anymore and i’d keep an eye out for aggression, they’d probably also pick on a new foxface
the anthias MAY be ok, but when i added a male lyretail to my 75 the purple tang went ballistic and i had to move the tang to a different tank
if you’re tangs aren’t all that agressive, you can try the foxface, dwarf angel (be careful with these, can can nip certain corals) fairy wrasse, halichoeres wrasses (may take out small shrimp) grammas, basslets, jawfish, or squirrelfish (also eat shrimp)
