    i've got a 50 gallon tank (tall) thats just sitting there, i am currently working on an 8 gal, and i was just planing ahead for fish. how does this sound? BTW its going to be a reef

    bluefin angelfish (dwarf)
    marine betta (reef safe Lfs has one in the DT they'd be willing to sell)
    male filamentos fairy wrasse
    mandarin dragonet


    is that overstocked? could i add anything else? any suggestions? thanks in advance

    No thats not overstocked...

    but I wold not do a manderin until you have atleast 6-8 month old tank for its copepods count for it to survive.

    Marine betta is not reef safe...it eats inverts..would get it if i were you..

    Becareful with dwarf angelfish in reef tanks all I've ever had ate corals, but some people get lucky enough that they don't. Only way to be safe is avoid angelfish

    ugh there so pretty though, how about a black nox angelfish? and as for the marine betta, the one i would be getting IS reef safe and it has been for about a year or so

    edit: nvm about the black nox LOL
