    FIsh selection advice

    Hi all,

    I am trying to get some advice on fish selection. As I type I have 50 snails, sand sifting starfish, 100#'s live rock, bubble tip anemone and two Ocellaris clowns. I need some advice as what fish to consider next. My final fish is going to be a hippo tang. Thanks for any advice BILL

    Hi Bill!

    I see a lot of these threads posted across the boards and the first response is typically the same so I thought I would go ahead and post it.

    How long has this tank been set up and what size is it? Is this an intended reef tank or a fish-only w/liverock? What kind of fish do you like?

    SORRY!!! the tank is a 75 gallon it has been set up for 2 months. I never really saw a cycle due to the 100 pounds of real quality live rock. I have critters living all over this stuff. I added the anemone and clown fish about a week ago. The lights a 96wx4 power compact flourescents. I want peaceful fish with good color. I am thinking about a wrasse but am not 100 percent yet. THANKS for any advice.

    The Royal Gramma, Gramma loreto, is for the most part a peaceful fish, but is also known to be territorial at times. We have one in our 75 and enjoy him!

    I guess it depends on the size of the intruder!

    cant really help you on the fish...... there are many..
    but if you want a quality deep sand bed.. the sand sifting star is not going to help you at all..
    I am not a failure! I have just found 10,000 ways to do it wrong!
