Potential Stock List
So while I'm thinking about the who and what I want in my tank, I may as well write it down to start getting a stronger concept of who. I'm planning for the tank to be sps dominated once I work up to it and the skimmer I have it is very easily able to keep up with a strong/heavy bioload but I don't want to overstock it!
I would love some butterfly fish! But alas my tank is obviously too small so that idea has been scratched.
I was thinking about a couple of dwarf angels, which I know are iffy at best in a reef tank but I'm willing to take that risk very carefully and keep them well fed and entertained.
- Coral Beauty
- Flame Angel
- Lemonpeel Angel (@MTG your's is beautiful!)
- Cherub Angel
The next fish list is the one that determines what else can go into the tank. I'll only be adding one of these fellas due to their habits and diets.
- Flame Hawkfish
- Long Nose Hawkfish
- Dwarf Lionfish (Either a fuzzy or fu man chu)
Hawkfish Path:
If I get a hawkfish the other fish I am looking at will be as follows:
Goby/s, one shrimp or clown goby or a pair of twin spots:
- Clown Goby
- Twin Spot (A pair)
- Randall's Shrimp Goby (with shrimp)
Blenny, I will only want one blenny in the tank if I get one:
- Bi-Colour Blenny
- Lawnmower Blenny
A red scooter dragonet/ a pair, way down the line once the tank if fully prepared to accommodate one
Lionfish Path:
Not really sure about anything for this pathway as the display will mainly just be focused on the colours of the angels and the sheer awesomeness of a lionfish lol I would really love to add more fish for a little more diversity like a wrasse or something?
These are all just thoughts and not set into stone but I would love any personal experiences or info and any other suggestions people have as I'm still snowballing at the current moment as to the final stocking list :)
