Thread: Recommendations on New Fish

  1. #1

    Default Recommendations on New Fish

    I have a 90 gallon tank stocked as follows:

    2 clowns
    1 yellow watchman goby paired with a tiger pistol shrimp
    1 6 line wrasse
    1 bubble tip anemone
    various snails and hermits
    various soft and lps corals / may add some SPS in the future

    Looking to add a new fish and would love some input on what to add. I've been researching but nothing is jumping out at me. Thoughts?

    how about a tailspot blenny and/or a couple chalk basslets.

    Disclaimer: I haven't had these myself but they are fish that I am considering getting at some point. My basic requirements are that they are interesting in some manner (personality, coloring, habits, etc - highly subjective), reef safe, safe with other inverts and decent community members (not overly aggressive).

    look into wrasses other than the six line. maybe like a mystery wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, or otheres. theres a lot of colorful ones, just make sure theyre reef safe

    Only consider tangs if you're ready to battle ich.

    For a 90g a Kole or maybe a Tomini tang would work. Adding wrasses after the 6 line is established might cause fireworks but a nice fairy wrasse might work.

    Are you in SA? BIGMOE is selling a nice/big blue hippo tang for a good price. The best way to get one is from an established tank.

    Oh, and one of my favorites is my lantern basslet.

    not really. my first fish was a regal tang, was my beginner mistake for getting him first. he has survived all my begginer ordeals.

    I'm glad to hear that your tang is doing well. I was not saying he shouldn't get a tang, but rather if he decides to get one, he should be prepared to get ich as well. Tangs are too prone to ich to not be prepared.
