Fish stocklist for 144 gallon
Hey guys.
So im transferring my fish from my 55 to my 144 tomorrow and i want to start getting a stock list ready. The fish that i was keeping from my old tank are 2x True perc clowns 1x Yellow tang 1x hippo tang 1x yellow tail damsel. I am looking for some input on new fish to buy 1x powder blue tang or powder brown 4-5x green chromis. I love they school together in the tank 2x lyretail anthias 2 wrasses- not sure what kinds yet 1x bicolour psudochromis 2x fire fish 1x sandsifter goby What do you guys think. Any fish that you love that isn't on the list or that you would switch. Thanks guys

Well not everyone can live up to Kien's standards ...
 But I loved my flame angels! ("Picky" buggers - at coral I mean ) but still gorgeous if you want to take a chance! Also totally loved my Blueface tilefish- and Midas blenny. Love the awesome selection in wrasses!

I you don't have shrimp I love my flame hawkfish, most personallity in the tank. He has however, killed every cleaner shimp i put in because i think "he won't eat it this time...". Everyone who comes over likes him too. Swims laps around the tank, perching on 4-5 spots just to look around, then zoom off to the next.

Tank is probably too small by the tang police's standards... they're likely right.
If you do add a flame angel, add it last. Mine beat up everything that was added after him. +1 on the Flame Hawkfish. I LOVE mine. I really like the little stuff. One of my favorite fish is my barnicle blenny. Super cool. Tailspot blenny, gobies, etc... I love them and they take up next to nothing for your bio load. A group of 2 is way too small for lyretail anthias. Or too big. one will kill the other for sure. I bought 1M and 4F... the male killed all the females. I think. The male is the only survivor. I'd say go for a more peaceful anthias... Bartletts maybe? Fathead? Barbonius? I want my Lyretail gone... he's a jerk. You may end up with fighting between 2 firefish as well... but it may wokr out, especially if you get a male and a female. Purples are apparently the most aggressive. I have 2 purples in my 160... they do ok.

Would that be for the powder tangs? the ones im looking at are at the LFS and they are only about 3 inches right now
I absoulty love my cleaner shrimp. probably getting a couple more once my tank settles down so i dont think a flame hawkfish will work Mabey ill stick with the Bartletts then. Ill probably stick with one fire fish as well As well does anybody have any experience with green chromis. i really wantt to get a schooling fish and the green chromis is what im leaning towards. How many do you think i should get?

The chromis will not school, they stick together as a "group" but won't huddle up unless they're getting picked on. In my 150 i can usually find 1 on each end of the tank. and a couple around the mid. They all sleep in the same place thoguh at night, and if any of them are getting pestered they team up quick.
