90 gallon stock list

[daniella3d]

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.

Tomini or Two-spot tang could also replace the Kole (same family of bristletooth tangs).

As for your wish list:

Yellow or canary wrasse (NOT lunare) is doable, but mine grew to about 5-6"
Dwarf Flame Angelfish - potentially non-reef-safe (any dwarf angel is a hit-or-miss) - perhaps look at Cherub angel (dwarf dwarf) which I've never had any problems with
nemo clownfish lol
starry blenny- algae eating? - some algae control
blue hippo tang - NOPE - too big and fast
flame hawkfish - Yes
cuban hogfish - Needs a 6' fowlr
pink square anthias - never found these to be hardy
purpleback pseudochromis - SKIP - would probably fight with orchid
ora fidmani-orchid pseudochromis - Usually great reef fish (probably stay just with one pseudochromis)
blue reef chromis - most LFS stock the green (not blue) chromis
banggai cardinal - great little reef fish

I would agree with the above.

Is this going to be a FOWLR? Or a reef?

ORA fish and coral, last i heard, can not be brought into Canada. However you can still get orchid's up here.

Also lunare wrasse, not only to big, but also not reef safe, IF you plan on having shrimp. As with most wrasse, keeping shrimp MAY be an issue. The bigger the wrasse the bigger the chance of it eating your inverts.

Another thought. If you want to do a pseudochromis stick to one. But there are some nice dottybacks as well that can be mixed with pseudochromis

Hawkfish will also eat any shrimp you may want to keep.

[Kimmi7]

This will be a reef tank so need reef safe fish.
So feel free to tell me about any fish you have that would work in 90 reef tank

shrimp first.....then wrasses and hawkfish.....been successful in two different tanks doing this.....any shrimp added after the fish are just a meal

If you do a psuedochromis or dottyback add them towards the end....they can be semi-aggressive and territorial


ORA fish are perfectly legal in Canada and a few vendors here bring them in from time to time
