125 Stock List

I had one of these:
Two Barred Rabbitfish so I dunno if the rabbitfish differ from foxfaces at all in the reef safe respect.

 

I had a trio- one died a few months later and i have had 2 for around 18 months

 

Oh ok, that makes sense. What species?

 

Lyretail- very pretty (love the long fins)

 

So now that the 125 is running, and all of my existing fish are in it (well as soon as I catch my Flame Angel!), I am wondering what would be the next to add. I am definitely getting a Magnificent Foxface. I think I am ruling out Anthias, as I am not home to feed them more than once a day and so do not think I can meet their dietary needs.

Based on what I have read Kole Tangs can be very shy, so I am thinking that may be best to next introduce. The other options are the Foxface, or Flame and Lineatus Wrasses. Thoughts on this?

And lastly, for a final, larger fish, I am leaning towards a Powder Brown Tang. I know they are well known to be Ich magnets. Obviously I would QT it for a minimum of 6 weeks, and treat if needed. It would be added last, so aggression should not be an issue. The only fish I would worry about it being aggressive with is the Kole Tang. They are from different families, and the Kole will be added months before the PBT, so I am thinking they should be alright. But if anyone has any thoughts/experience with these together, please let me know. TIA

 

I dont think you will have issues, i had 3 tangs with no real aggression. One was kind of a jerk but he got eaten by a vortech at the beginning of July. Kole tangs that i've had weren't shy, and a large powder brown was not aggressive, but these things vary. I would start on the wrasse.

 

Good info Alex! I did want to get the C. jordani and C. lineatus in here sooner than later so my C. bathyphilus and C. laboutei don't get too comfortable in their new crib. I may go this route after all...

 

I just put in a coral beauty and its gorgeous. I gonna freak out on angels i think

 

;D They are some of the most beautiful fish out there...with just that one downside :-/ I am taking a chance with my Flame Angel, but I do think it is worth it!
