Tank Idea - Aquarium Advice

r6mason · 08-30-2005, 01:41 AM

I have a 100 [acronym:43b867abdd="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:43b867abdd] and 150 LBS. of live rock on the way. I want to have 1 chocolate chip star fish, 1 flame angel, 1 hippo tank, 2 clownfish, and 2 foxface rabbitfish.

Do you think this would work?

sounds fine

I'd give up a Foxface and do 3 blue green chromis so they can school. Neat to watch. And although some folks do real well with hippo tangs, I'd rather do one less prone to disease.

Doing fish only, huh? No coral.

I would also say that with that list, you would not have any room for fish in the future. Remember to add them slowly, a fish, maybe 2 at a time, no more.

I would like to have some corals but was told that you cannot with the chocolate chip. See I have not ordered these fish as of yet. I have the 100 [acronym:e27522a38f="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:e27522a38f] with the chocolate chip and 2 blue damsels. I will buy no more than 2 fish at a time.

Is a foxface and a onespot rabbitfish the same??

austinsdad · 08-31-2005, 11:40 AM

Yes, but I've never heard the "one-spot" reference.

There is a marking on some foxface, instead of the body being all yellow, there is a black spot towards the back end. I had one marked like this.
