140G stock list help
I everyone I'm upgrading my 75G in the next week to a 140G custom. 52x26x23. My stick list as of now is 2 clowns, yellow tang, flame angel,sand goby, and mandarin dragonet. The fish I am considering are a pair of anthias, mystery wrasse, and some tangs (purple,powder blue,naso). Is this overstocked. Should I cut back on a tang?
Thanks |
in my opinion tangs are really dirty so as long as you have a really good skimmer i would still only keep it to 3 tangs at the most, they tend to get quite large and will get territorial if they get to big

From past experiences I think a naso tang is will outgrow your 140G. I have a 144G and the naso had to go as she started to get a little too big for my tank and was starting to get aggressive towards other fish. If you get a purple tang it may get aggresssive towards your yellow tang. If you get the powder blue just be aware that they are very prone to ich. I would probably go for the hippo. If you get anthias I beive it is recommended to go for 3 of them. But to answer your question, IMO thats not overstocking.

Great responses,
I am worried the purple and yellow will fight so I guess that's up in the air. A hippo tang is a good suggestion. I have heard the powder blues are ich prone which worries me but I LOVE them. Also a huge naso tang fan. May just get a juvenile blonde naso and atleast would get to enjoy him for a few years. Anyone have any other tang suggestions... 3 for a 140G ? |
So I have decided on a yellow eyed kole tang as the new tang for my upgrade. Still think a wrasse and some anthias. Any suggestions with my stocklist ?

fairy and flasher wrasses get along so stick to them if you want multiple wrasses
1 male lyretail and 3 females; they have the best survival rates in reef tanks |
