In my 265 I have 5 Chromis..lol

I have not put together a fish list for my tank and I really should. I tend to like a tank that's a not quite calm but not busy either.. Know what I mean?

I'd go for a big tank of small fish - like 20 - 30 Chromis viridis, a few centropyge (a harem or two different species), a good mix of small gobies, a few hawkfish, a few cardinals to make a small school, and maybe a wrasse or five. Oh and 7 - 15 pearly jawfish

In any case, I'd opt for small fish - large fish (8"+) look out of place in any tank smaller than several hundred ~ thousands of gallons, IMO.

You know how many fish I have in mine and they all do well. I have no plans on adding more since everybody gets along and lives happily together. No point in disrupting things. I added my Achilles in early May and he's the last fish in.

No flames from me but I must say I'm curious what your nitrate sits at?
