Finally ready to add fish...need suggestions.

[cjsparky]

Was hoping you all could help me make a stock list. I currently have only a single small/medium clown in a 125, but my parameters are finally in a good place, and I am ready to slowly add some fish.

My goal is a mixed reef, maybe even SPS eventually, so I will need you all to factor that when thinking about my fish stock list. I know I want a few tangs, but need help deciding on some other fish as well. Maybe even a semi reef safe Angel? Help me pick out some cool fish!

Radiant wrasse is one of my favorite, school of green chromis, clown tang, purple tang, and maybe maby a sohol tang if you can put them in at the same time. for this combination you will also need a large tank. here is a picture of the wrasse, just so you can see the beauty. enjoy

btw do you have a thread on your tank?

Royal Grammas are awesome. I have a black ray prawn goby that is beautiful and visible almost all of the time. It is also a great fish. Firefish are good, but have a tendency to be eaten by bristleworms at night.

Yep...sort of :) Not too much going on right now with living things in the tank. Just added 40 snails and 20 blue legs.

Since when did Flame Angel's become safe? Semi safe I suppose... we're considering a second aquarium at some point, just so we don't have to worry about the 50/50 chance of it nipping the poor corals... such a beautiful fish, I just don't know if it's worth the risk to us...

I have one in a predominately SPS tank and the only thing he nips at are the rocks trying to catch amphipods and grazing over the rocks. I took the chance and had him about 6-8 months.. very beautiful fish and great personailty.

A radiant will need an established tank to give it the best opportunity for survival. The clown and sohal tang I would stay away from all together.
Purple tang would be great.

Agreed. A Sohal will get too big for a 125 for sure. I'm not even comfortable planning for one in an 8' 240g.
