    How does my stock list for my 210 look?

    Now that I have upgraded my tank; I would like to look ahead to my future stocking list.

    What I have now is:
    2 x clownfish
    1 x yellow Tail Damsel
    1x Naso
    1x Fox Face

    future additions I would like to include:

    5x Yellow Tail Damsels
    1X Koran Angel
    1x Imperator Angel
    2x Blue Tangs
    1X Bird Wrasse
    1X EEl

    maybe a Batfish?

    Tank is 210 gallon (72L X 36W I believe)

    and a clean up crew open for suggestions.

    Does that look compatable?

    and o.k. for a long term residence?

    As a generality, the batfish (assuming you mean something like Platax sp.) is too reclusive and shy to compete in that company of more assertive fishes.

    The angelfishes should wait until the tank is about 1+ years old.

    Depending on the kind of eel, it may find your damselfish on its menu.

    HOWEVER, that isn't a bad stock limit for that sized tank. See if you can manage to not exceed that bio-load and you'll have a good show tank!

    I can live without a Batfish actually.

    I agree with your Angelfish coment; (they are too pricey to not wait , anyhow)

    I was thinking of somthing along the lines of a "snowflake" Eel?

    What do you think?

    The Snowflake Eel is a nice addition to the community tank. It should do well in both the docile or aggressive community tank. It will spend more time in the open after it gets to know its home and if there are a few good hiding places for it to count on. Small fish may be a tempting meal, but not always.
