ektorgt · 08-27-2005, 02:01 AM

i started cycling the tank and now i have to think what fish i want in it....

its a 75 [acronym:c5e417298a="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:c5e417298a] by the way...

i have no idea what to put in it since i know theres alot of compatibility stuff...

i like the dwarft lions and snowflake eels.....
but then i also like tangs and clownfishh....

i hate it in the [acronym:c5e417298a="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:c5e417298a] because most of the time they will thell you that everything is compatible with everything just to sell u more and that you can put 1000 fish in your tank etc.....

so what fish can i put with option a (dwarft lion - eel) and with option b (tangs-clowns)

thanks for the helpppppp

can you also include the price of the fish in the suggestions

cause what i have seen at my [acronym:528895f1aa="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:528895f1aa] are
dwarft lions for $35
and yellow tangs for $27
and blue tangs for $65
and clowns for $16
(approx)

ok... ill probably just buy 2 tangs(1regal,1yellow), 2 dwarft lionfish, and a snowflake eel....

[acronym:b9234ab013="In my opinion"]IMO[/acronym:b9234ab013] a Regal tang is not a good choice for a 75.

ektorgt · 08-29-2005, 01:55 AM

alright but is everything else ok
or what else can i keep instead of the regal tang????????

thank youuu

I think a lion and snowflake eel may be it, big bioload. If you do clowns and tangs, there are more options. 2 tangs may be stretching your limits though for a 75 [acronym:1de5d1b1d3="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:1de5d1b1d3]. Here are some tangs to look at.

The lion will eat the clowns when it gets larger. You could have the eel with a tang and several smaller fish. But not too small because the SFE when it gets larger may eat small fish. I have a SFE with some perc clowns and they get along fine.

is there a problem in getting 2 dwarft lionfish?
and what if I introduce the lionfish and clownfish at the same time when they are both the same size???

Its not a territory issue... its a predatory issue...

I'd stick with only one lionfish in a 75g, and possibly list the equipment you are using for filtration.

agree with above. You need to decide what kind of system you want. agressive, semi, reef, etc.
I would study some more.
This may help
