Stocking Plans
As I would hate to slack and not have any pictures on the first page of my journal, here's some of the thoughts I've made towards some of the choices I now face lol
Coral, clams and inverts are easy and the choices have been made haha but it's the room for the extra fish that I'm really excited about! As I've mentioned above my existing fish will of course be coming across into the new tank which will start me off with 5 fish and I want to aim for 10-13 fish in the tank so that it's nice and busy with plenty of friends and colour swimming around!
The new additions I do want to make and am fairly sure on are a kole tang, probably the last addition or at least after the anthias. The other addition I would really love to make would be a cleaner wrasse :) I think they're wonderful fish with an amazing interaction with other fish too. Something I've thought about getting before.
The real fish decision that is plaguing me is which species of anthias I decide to get for the tank! These are all species my LFS can get and the best part if they're all ridiculously expensive, god I love my fish tastes they're also all reasonably uncommon and rare but they're all absolutely stunning fish!
**none of these photo's are mine and if the original owners do not wish me to use them please don't hesitate to contact me a let me know**
Golden Anthias (Pseudanthias aurulentus)
Yellow-tailed Anthias (Pseudanthias flavicuada)
Sunburst Anthias (Serranocirrhitus latus)
Randall's Anthias (Pseudanthias randalli)
I'm rather stuck on the decisions as to which I go with but I think regardless of what I do I might throw in a lone sunburst as I love them so much and they do alright singularly :)
Another fish I've been thinking about is the extremely rare and goofy Ignatius-lepiggleious fish :lol:
I'm picking the tank up tomorrow afternoon so things will start to get real and I might kick the planning and buying into a higher gear now! :) I can't wait to get it and really start to visualise the scape and everything :)
