What Would You Get Next?
 
Hi Everyone,

My 220 gal reef tank currently is stocked with the following fish...

- 1 Engineer Goby
- 3 Clowns
- 1 Flame Angel
- 1 Scopas Tang
- 1 Anthias

What fish would you add to this 220 next? I'm a big fan of tangs but not sure what tang would go well with the Scopas. What would you add?

Lots and lots of anthias

Would this cause aggression if there is more than 1 male in the tank?

Regal, Yellow, Atlantic blue would be good tang candidates.

Powder blue, naso, purple, red sea sailfin....so many great tangs

Tangs for sure maybe some anthias maybe some wrasses

The Grizz 02-10-2013 04:59 AM

Naso, Regal, Red Sea Sailfinn ( if you can find one )

If you want to stay on the smaller scale of tangs a Yellow, Tommi or even a Luitenent tang would be a good choice.

Same species yes. I had stocky pinks, threadfins, Bartlett and lyretails together three to five of each

+500

Get a couple different harems of different species. The different species by and large leave each other alone unless there is a big difference in size. I would recommend Bartletts, carberyi, and bimacs... Maybe diadems if your up for a challenge.

With your tank size you could even do some of the bigger Anthias like square spot's. The super male square spots are spectacular.

It seem everyone with big tanks do tangs. Though I love the fish I really enjoy a large tank with a mass of small fish. To me it would more resemble the outer reefs
