Need Help with Fish list

[fishfreak1242]

So I'm planning out what fish to get and my fish list and heres what I have so far:
-Pearly Jawfish
-Purple Firefish goby
-Yellow watchman goby
-Lantern Basselet
-Solar Fairy Wrasse
-Twin Spot Hogfish
My tank is a 75 gal and right now I have a pair of occellaris clowns, a fire shrimp and a cleaner shrimp. So how does this list look? Will any of these fish fight each other or won't go together? I was also thinking about getting a anthias, but I have no idea what kind to get or if my tank will be big enough. Any help would be appreciated

Looks fine to me. Anthias will be okay, just make sure you have A LOT of flow in the column they gotta move a lot.

Make sure you get a small Anthias though. Also do you want a group or just one? If you get just one check out the Fathead anthias.

Ok. Is there any particular order in which I should get them? I was thinking of getting the Bangaii Cardinal next or one of the gobies.
I will probably just end up getting one anthias and that will be at the end when I get more flow. Right now all I have is a Koralia 3 and a Maxijet 1200.

I wouldn't get a Bangaii Cardinal if I were you, I have a Pajama Cardinal and he's so boring, he doesn't swim he just stays in once spotm once in a while he'll switch sides of tak. The oly time I see him moving is when it's time to eat but thats not much action either. If you really want to get a Cardinafishl, I suggest getting 3 or more because they school nicely although I think they're not very attractive at all.

Yeah I used to have PJ cardinal too, and he was so bland so I was thinking that this one would be a little different, so I guess I will take him off the list.

fish list sounds fine, a 75 is athe minimum i would have for a anthias. They do ok alone, but are usually better in schools. You should also try a twin spot hog, i have one in my reef tank and they are so cool.

 

[fishfreak1242]

I just looked at the Hogfish and they look really cool. That one is going on the list.

 

[fishfreak1242]

Is there a rule or anything for getting wrasses? I was thinking about getting 2 or 3. Should they all be the same kind or can I get different kinds?

I highly recommend a jawfish (pearly). Out of all the fish i have had they are hands down the fish with the most personality.

check out hawkfish, i like how they perch and look around.

Yeah I was thinking about adding that one too. Will it bother any of the other fish on the list or anything? Also what would be the maximum # of fish I could get with a 75 gal? I was thinking of getting 9 or 10 fish.

Some hawkfish (long nose and flame) have the potential to eat small inverts just keep that in mind.

The Jawfish is fantastic but BE PREPARED to baby it for a few weeks till it musters up the courage to eat on it's own. Make sure you have a closed lid because they are olympic jumpers... no kidding.

Cardinals are actually not THAT BORING. It depends on the temperament of the fish, usually they should be kept in a group of 3 (small groups) for them to be happy and swimming in a pack.

The 75 Gallon Bioload capacity will depend on what you want to keep. For example, a Tang is an absolute waste factory compared to a clownfish. Is it a Reef or Fish Only. You get a little more room with a Fish only for nitrates.

9 or 10 fish can easily be sustained, if I had a 75 I would set it up so I can keep 30 fish-- yes I am insane but look at my Title-- Addicted to fish. I would buy a Denitrator so I can stock my tank to the hilt and make a lot of caves so fish can hide and there is less chance of aggression.

30 fish?!?!? Thats crazy. At most I will end up with 15. I plan on getting a canopy that will cover my tank on all four sides and cover it so there is less like of a chance of the fish jumping. I don't really think I want the cardinal with it being all boring and I don't want to have to get more than 1.

Yea 30 fish. I know I am insane, but I am a fishguy not really corals.

-You should get multiple Jawfish of the same kind, they are extremely fascinating. I have two and it's amazing, funny, and worrisome all at the same time watching them in the tank.

-If you want fish that swim very actively. I would get a mix of Chromis' so that they can school. In particular I would buy like 3 of each Green, Blue, and Yellow Chromis. They are REALLY nice looking IMO.

Do you mean 3 Green 3 blue and 3 yellow, or 1 green 1 blue and 1 yellow? Are they hardy?
