What fish would you get
So if you guys had to start your tank all over again and could only choose three fish for a 75g what fish would you choose and why??
My list so far: powder blue tang leopard wrasse masked rabbit fish i love the colours and designs on these fish |
Radiant wrasse
Sail fin tang Clown trigger ~Tony |
Purple tang
Any of the anthias And a leopard wrasse |
So far you guys all have terrible suggestions for a 75 gallon tank!! A Powder Blue Tang, a Sailfin Tang, or a Purple Tang in a 75??? That's awful. :(
I would suggest a trio of Flame Wrasses or Hooded Wrasses. Why? They will never outgrow the tank. They are peaceful to other fish (besides possibly some other wrasses). They are easy to keep once acclimated and not prone to disease. They are beautiful. A trio will provide you with one super male, one sub-dominant male, and one female thus providing the best color display and likely spawning rituals as well. |
Well I see many 75 and 90 tanks with more them two tangs I don't see why having one tang in a 75 would be bad, yes I understand they get big and need swimming space

Edit come to think of it, if Mad Jolly Corals is giving such terrible advice about fish stocking you have to wonder about the quality of the advise they give about coral. |

Here, watch: @ Madjellycorals I have to disagree with your choices of fish in this regard. Clown triggers and sailfin tangs will simply outgrow a 75 gallon tank. There, easy and I don't implicate myself as a narcissistic turd scrape. You're welcome. |

I have seen frags from mad jelly corals and I can say they are Amazing!!! Plus I have heard nothing but good from their service. There's no need to be rude, most people on here are friendly and by most I mean 99%.

Have heard and read nothing but rave reviews about Madjellycorals and this was definitely an uncalled for attack on their rep. |

Danny, your best bet for a 75g stock for fish would be wrasses, tangs need space. If you want more fish go for smaller ones, wrasses can get big aswell and will start to fight in a small tank. Leopard wrasses are an awesome addition and one of my favourites, flame wrasse are cool too, flasher wrasse are pretty nice colour aswell. Skip the rabbit as he will outgrow your tank quickly. |

Many people will buy small tangs with the plans to upgrade to a bigger tank when the fish grow larger. Too many times it happens that there is no follow through on that promise. No matter how good the hobbyists' intentions are, many upgrades never come to fruition and you see tangs cramped into tanks that are too small for them where eventually their health is challenged. Large fish in small tanks also presents the challenge of keeping good water quality. Big fish = big poop = lots of nutrients to export in one way or another. Rabbitfish/Foxfaces are right up there with tangs too - with the exception maybe being the One Spot Rabbitfish/Foxface which, being smaller, tend to fare just fine in 90 or 120-gallon tanks. |
I have a thing for assessors
Mcnealii Yellow Blackcap They do like dimmer lighting though and may be semi cryptic if lights are to bright Other than my personal choice Dwarf angels Hawk fish Midas Blenny |

As for the fish, I have a 75g to and have been going through the same dilemma. The tank is a little small for tangs but big enough you want a nice looking show fish. Wrasses seem he logical choice as they are colourful and very active and may serve a purpose with helping reduce pests in your tank. Maybe a small school of chromis or Banggai cardinals are another route I may go. Right now I have a sixline wrasse in my tank and he is awesome so I don't plan on adding a bigger wrasse. One more option I am considering is the flame hawkish which will add a nice splash of colour as it perches among the sps and rocks. |
the flame hawk fish is one that is on my list, im just finding that the fish i like with all the nice patterns tend to be the big guys. i was also thinking a potters angel

One more to add if you have Lps the angel have been known to nip, if you keep them well fed they are good, once they go hungry it's candy shop!
