stocking list

BigJay · 08-10-2008, 12:04 AM

I know these can be annoying, but sometimes my thought process gets very linear and I miss the obvious so thought I'd run this stocking list for my 90g just so I can plan accordingly.

The lawn mower blenny and the false perc will go from my 14 to the 90.

I want a midas blenny but I am concerned if the LM blenny and the midas will squabble. If so I may change to small goby. opinions?

anyway the total list
Lawn mower blenny
midas blenny
A mandarin fish (won't be added till much later)
2 false perc's
flashback gramma (Pseudochromis diadema)

If you see any potential problems there speak up.

well nevermind the flashback gramma will not go in.

The Pseudo was the only one that had me worried.

I think that the two blennies in a 90 would be ok. Plenty of room for them to have their own space.

A Reef Safe wrasse would be a nice addition too - most have great color and are very active.

How about a good old wrasse? Yellow Coris wrasses are wonderful hunters and keep the unwanted pests away.

You beat me to it Dave

I was debating a citron gobie then I jumped online thats not going to work.I am debating a yellow watchman now. Kind of worried if I do that though everything will be low in the tank or in the rocks.
One of my problems is all the books I have are seriously outdated. None of them list the flash back as problem nor do the list the fact that citron gobies can be SPS nibblers.
Says the yellow coris may eat fanworms or tubeworms is that a strong maybe or it happens but not all the time? Labout's Fairy Wrasse , now thats a sexy looking fish. $170 bucks though...hmmm. Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse , that ones not bad either! Guess I just tend to discount the wrasses but lots small reef safe ones available.Some reason I always just think of the six line. Glad I got time to plan this out.
Appreciate the feedback!

Not sure how reef safe it is since I have mine in a FOWLR but the yellow coris wrass is gorgeous and always out swimming around the tank. At least mine is anyway. I have him in a 90 with a mandarin and a bluespot and so far have not had agression problems with the wrasse though there is lots of room for him. The bright yellow is a welcome splash.
I also love my midas blenneys. Another gorgeous fish. They do spend a faor amount of time in their holes in the rock but come out a decent amount of the time and even when they are in the rock you see their adorable little faces peaking out. I have two and they are both in the same rock on opposite sides so it is reall cute.
As far as compatability I think you are fine.
