90 gallon stock list

George · #1 01-03-2012, 03:40 AM

Some of these fish will get too big to be in a 90 gallons, and I feel those are a lot of fish for a 90G. If you want to get some ideas about what size tank is good for a particular fish, you can go to http://www.liveaquaria.com/ and search for your fish. I find that their recommendations are pretty good most of the time.

On that site theres also a compatibility list that is helpful as well. What is this site that your planning on ordering your fish from?

Oh I am not ordering for awhile and it was just a random site that came up after searching for saltwater fish lol. Its saltwaterfish.com

I know this is a lot of fish for a 90 thats why I asked what people think about the type of fish. As well most of the fish dont get over 3-4 inchs. I will for sure check out the site though, thanks

Thats an American site. It's best to support your LFS. There's a few in your city that are mentioned on here often. You most likely wont be buying all your fish at once but they will order what you like. Try to find a SW specialty store as opposed to the bigger chain stores that sell puppies and other pet stuff. Someone from the Edmonton area should be speaking up soon and reccomending a good store to visit. While there ask alot of questions and than come back here for a second or better yet several more opinions.

ok so is a blue hippo tang a blue tang? as on the link suggested I couldnt find a blue hippo tang but the blue tang looks the same as it.

It depend. A blue hippo tang is a blue tang, so is the powder blue, and there is also the purple tang which is blue, but they all require a larger tank than a 90 gallons, minimum 125 gallons, best is 200 gallons and up.

Ya the one site was completely off. Said it need min of 40-50 and that it doesn't get bigger then 4". So I guess that's out of the picture. Oh well.

A lunare wrasse will get way to large (10") and aggressive for a 90g. I had a 7" lunare wrasse in my 230g fowlr tank and he was aggressive.

I think the blue tang you're thinking of is also referred to as a hippo tang or regal tang. They get up a foot (12") in size, minimum of 180g.

A 90g is a bit small for tangs but if you really want a tang, a kole tang would be ok.
