90 Gal Stocking Questions

[DallasSVT]

Hello all!

I have a 90 Gal bowfront with a 75gal Refugium! And need some help stocking it. I like lost of fish and think my refugium can handle a pretty big bio load. please let me know what you think and if I am leaving anything out!

Currently in Tank

5 Lyretail Anthias
2 Snowflake Clowns

Looking to buy (not all at once of course)

Wrasses- I want some sort of group, not sure how many or what can go together. looking at H. Melanurus and Flashers (McCosker or Carpenter).

2-3 Purple Firefish
2 Blue Spotted Watchman Gobys
1 Dracula Goby
1 Randall's Goby
2 Pajama Cardinals

Tangs

Again not sure what can go together but these are the ones I am looking at!

Naso Tang
Desjardini
Yellow
Blue

Again I would like to have more than one of them, say 2 yellow and a Naso.


Thanks for your help!

I would go w/a trio of McCosker's flasher wrasses 1m 2f.

2-3 Purple Firefish to have more than 1 in a tank you must have a mated pair or they will fight
2 Blue Spotted Watchman Gobys I'd go with one.
1 Dracula Goby I'd go with one
1 Randall's GobyI'd go with one...keep in mind all these gobies can be territorial too. As long as they could find houses far enough away from each other it could be fine. If not, they'll fight.

Naso Tang -gets way to big for a 90g (i feel your pain...I want one myself)
Desjardini again tank is to small
Yellow - ok for this size tank, but only do 1 or they'll fight in these cramped quarters
Blue - will get to big

here is a guideline for tang tank sizes

2 Pajama Cardinals these get big and ugly with time!

Thanks Korrine!

I love the Naso! I guess I will just have to get a bigger tank ;)! If I was to go with the Trio of McCosker Flashers can I put other wrasses with them? Fairy's? or a Melanurus? or all three?

What are some cool Blennies?

Thanks,

Dallas :beer:

I wouldn't do fairy's and flasher's in the same tank. A melanurus would be fine :)

I think tail spot blennies are cute
