65 gallon fowlr stock list

[Sandnukka15]

Hey guys so ill be setting up my 65 here in a couple days and cycling it but wanted to get a head start and some opinions as to what to stock with slowly.... i have more then enough rock a good size sump and 2 skimmers one in sump one hang on the back( ill only use one if need be ill throw the other one on too) both rated for tanks up to 75 gallons .... my plan eventually is to get 10 small community fish in there slowly and a nice clean up crew..... looking to get hardy fish and an asortment of color.... feel free to list 10 you would keep with a clean up crew..... thanks

It's a fairly heavy bio-load, but from that perspective as long as you keep up with your maintenance you should be fine. You have several members of the Damsel family listed, I suspect there is going to be some battles between the clowns, chromis and damsels, you could probably get by with the clowns and one of the others listed, but I suspect there will be casualties if you try to add them all. Perhaps substitute one of the flasher wrasses.

I'd forgo the blue dam. I had one (albeit not that starphire variety), but he was a jerk.

1 neon blue goby
1 royal gramma basslet
1 black and white chromis
1 blue saphire damsel
1 shark nose goby

2 oce clown fish
1 fire fish
1 Black Axil Chromis, supposed to be more peaceful than the blue-green
1 scissor dartfish
1 neon blue goby
4 zebra barred gobies OR 2 cardinals, Pajama or Banggai

This is just my opinion, worth what you paid for it. ;)


If you like hermits you could do 4 Blue legs, 4 Red Legs and 4 Scarlets along with a Dozen each of Nassarius, Caribbean Dwarf Cerith and Nerite snails in each tank, as long as your tank has a bit of algae. A few micro-brittle stars would be fun too.
