New 26 gal tank my stock list idea

[tendar]

Well I got this 26 gallon(36Lx16Hx10W) tank the other day to fill a spot in the living room and am trying to decide on the 3-4 fish to put in it. Will be a FOWLR,calurpa,30 watt 10k no bulb and skimmer.

After doing some looking up in my Marine Fishes book By Scott Micheal I am think of the follow inhabitiants.

1. African Flameback Anglefish (centropye acanthops) 2.8" max, which we have one at the LFS for about 3 mounths in a 29 reef I can get.

2. Longfin Fairy Wrasse (cirrhilabrus rubriventralis) 2.9" max

3a. Red Sea Mimic Blenny (ecsenius gravieri) 3.1" max
3b. Yellowtail Fang BLenny (meiacanth7us atrodorsalis)4.3" max, venomous. The prefered blenny if I can find one.

4. Orchid Dottyback (pseudochromis fridmani) 2.8" max maybe a mated pair if come across some.

Sounds nice, Flamebacks are hard to come by. [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

My LFS also has had a couple C. acanthops available for awhile. Nice fish. Interesting to watch, very busy, constantly picking at the LR.

Hi:
sounds good, just be leary of the psuedo's they tend to be territorial, and often times will harass fish which live in their territory. This is not usually a problem in a bigger tank, but since you don't have alot of floor space, it might get a little touchy.

Well decided. I just added live rock today so it will be a mounth or so but will start looking for the fish. Looking for 4 fish maybe 5 at very max depending on size of fish.

Im going to get
Flame back angle(purple and yellow)
Red Sea Mimic Blenny(blue and yellow)
Orchid Dottyback(purple) maybe would be a last addition if not to crowded
Yellow Assessor(well duh Yellow)
Havent decided on a red fish yet. Would like to get another Flame Hawk but will probably want some cleaner shrimp so he is out.
Any suggestions on a red or redish comunity fish that stays at 3-4" max length.
