MVPaquatics Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Might be pushing it on tangs. Add powder brown last. Not sure how all the wrasses will get along. I have a 180 with like 28 or so fish. Only one tang though. Love royal grammas. I also recommend the solaris wrasses. Dispars are also nice. Anything for the bottom? Gobies, blennies, mandarins later on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I agree with MVP. Maybe dont do so many wrasses and a couple blennies or gobies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanareef Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 blue spot for the bottom "Setting up another tank, an up-grade to 180gal with a Opistognathus Rosenblatti (Blue Spot Jawfish) as the main character" Never had wrasses in any of my previous tanks so the list might be a little "long" will be looking for a male and a harem for one of the Flashers. Can you keep two males and several females of a different species together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'm having limited success with multiple flashers. I've got a McCoskers/Carpenters hybrid with a McCoskers. They don't really got at escorted but the McCoskers hides a lot except when feeding. I don't imagine it would be so bad in a 6ft tank though.

MVPaquatics Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Also wrasses and tangs enjoy dither fish. Chromis and you mentioned anthias,any small schooling fish will make the others come out more. You can add more to the bottom than the bluespot jaw. Mandarin or scooter blennies. Cardinals are nice. Midas blennies have been known to mix weell and try to school with anthias...kinda cool. Do you like rabbitfish? Also i think the yellow coris would intimidate the other fairy/flashers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanareef Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 thanks for the tip, I'll narrow it down to one type of wrasse and have a male with a couple of females and then try to figure out what other fish we want in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
