stocking fish in 75g help
 
So im at the stage where my tank is ready for some fish, im just worried if it will be too much of a bio load, but i am going to be adding bio pellets to my system. If any of you have a fish recommendation that is a must have please let me know.


currently i have:

1-tamato clown
1-potters angle
1-watchman gobie
1-fire shrimp

i would like to add:

5-blue/green chromis
3-despar anthis
1-yellow wrasse
1-small tang (not sure on this one yet, maybe Kole)

Skip the dispars. They have a subpar survival rate and are like crappy bartlett's.

What would be a good replacement? I like their colour and how they swim together. Is there a better type of anthis?

Lyretails tend to be the most commonly kept anthias with a decent survival rate.

I didnt have any issue with my dispars until i killed them by wiping my entire tank. They were super easy to get onto pellets, only fed once a day.
What about lyretail?
Quite a few types of nice pink/orange anthias out there

Sorry, I need to clarify my comment: Dispars are like a crappy version of Bartlett's.

Anyway, Lyretails:

Bartlett's:

Both pretty nice, Bartlett's is quite a bit closer to the look of the dispar though.

Dispar:

skip the 5 chromis, youll end up with 1 in the end

Dispars look like they got the start of a mullet going on with that dorsal....
