Fish??
Hi all, looking to complete the fish numbers in my tank and want some advice please. Below is my current setup and stock list. I have asked Lfs to get me 3 wrasse fish, guy says he can mix up any of the Indonesia types so going to get me 3 nice ones. I'm also getting a coral beauty eventually. Just wondering in your opinions does that fill the tank? Other options please? Are there any larger fish out there that could go nicely in there? What about a full angel rather than the dwarf coral beauty? I hope you guys can give me some pointers.

What about a small school of chromis? Along with dwarf angel? I'm just thinking out loud. Lol

For an 80 gallon I would say you're pretty set on "larger" fish. If it were me, I'd stick with adding the coral beauty and maybe a wrasse or two and be done with it. But be careful with the wrasses, depending on type could cause some issues with hawkfish or blenny. I'm not an expert in wrasses but just minor things I've seen come up.

This aquarium looks spacious that I feel like it needs more fish.

But yeah, that seems like a good plan to have the 2 wrasses and coral beauty. Should be good to go then. And definitely look at getting some corals in there too! Careful with the CB as sometimes it can nip, but may as well add some easy coral and enjoy it all.

I would add a wrasse and wait for a month or two to see what happens and let your bacteria play catch up. Too many leads to many issues....

Wrasses start life as females. Dominate ones mature and turn male. In captivity, they all eventually turn male. Similar to anthias, sort of.

Yes. Just keep an eye on them. You will more than likely have to rehome one at some point.

Why would both turn male? wouldn't only the dominate one be a male?

Wrasses don't pair. Juvenile wrasses are females. Over time they mature and become males.

INteresting so to breed wrasses you'd have to always get a juevenile and keep replacing the juevenile. Good to know thanks.

Just a heads up - that Fox Face is gonna to get HUGE!!! As for Tangs are concerned - that Kole Tang would be as large as I'd go. And JUST ONE. DON'T get ANY other Tangs!!
