fish list feedback??

[prow]

hey everyone, i am hopping to get a little feed back on my fish list. the tank is 72x18x20"H with a 50gal sump. here is the current list.
1-Green clown goby (Gobiodon atrangulatrus)
1-Yellow clown goby (Gobiodon okiwawee)
5-Dispar anthias (Mirolabrichthys dispar)
2-Lineatus fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lineatus)
1-Canary blenny (Meiacanthus ovalaunensis)
1-Regal angel (Pygoplites diacanthus )
2-False percula clown (Amphiprion ocellaris)
1-Kole yellow eye tang (Ctenochaetus strigosus)

i want to add an orcid dottyback (fridmani pseudochromis). how do you think he will do in the mix. thinking i might boot the percula clown if needed. any ideas??

Sounds like a good list as far as compatability. the only things I would look out for are the regal angel (typically difficult to feed/provide the proper environment for and, if possible check out Scott Michaels Reef Fishes volume 3, or whichever one covers angel and butterflyfish.) hopefully, that can send you in a better direction. Also, when you get the dispars, make sure theyre eating before you buy them (from my few years in and LFS, these, just like squareback and purple queen anthias seem to be a little reluctant to feed for the first few days, just try some live brine(not a good permanent food but, it will get them eating.) or maybe mysis.)

Ditto what ReefDave said, all looks good except for possibly the regal angel.

cool thanks guys. i am aware of the angel, very well aware and ready, thanks for the heads up though. tanks been going for 4 months now full of pods, mysids and stuff. also have gracilaria growing in the main tank for him aswell. kinda stocked the tank around him corals choosen with him in mind too. of course getting the indian ocean variant, if not the red sea type. have 5 chromis in there for the past 3 months. will remain like this for another 5 months before stocking, chromis will go to LFS.my coraline is just starting to really take off now. one other thing i have been thinking about is corals or fish first? what do you guys think. i think i will post a poll.

I had a dottyback that relentlessly chased my gobie around my 4' tank until I removed it. If you add it, make it the very last fish... way after the gobies get settled in.

I have an orchid dottyback and as pretty as this fish is, I will probably never get one again. My main complaint with it is throwing sand everywhere. It comes out of the rock work with a mouth full of sand and spits it everywhere! I am constantly having to clean up. Mine has been timid as far as chasing any fish.

[prow]

that is nice to know gina. i hate when i get a fish that does that. my sand bed is under a 1/2" going to have to think about this one. do you guys think the dottyback will hide most of the time with the angel and tang swimming around in there?

[Gina]

I would think that each fish has it's own personality. My dottyback will go back into the rock work when the angel comes near. But, usually pops back out when the coast is clear.
