Help with stocking list and cardinalfish

[toi_ss]

Is this an okay stocking list for an 80 gallon? (130x68x35) - sorry weird dimensions, custom made it to fit in this space.


1 Yellow Coris Wrasse
3-5 Blackstripe (ostorhinchus nigrofasciatus) or threadfin cardinalfish
1 Mandarin Goby
1 Red firefish
(maybe tomini tang)

For the blackstripe cardinals would it be okay to have a shoal of them (yes I searched around) - they are the only species of ostorhinchus allowed in my country, I know the threadfins can be shoaled but they are quite drab looking - originally I was going to go with bangaii cardinals but you can only keep 1-2 and I simply dont like pajama or polka dot cardinals.

Also feeding doesn't matter for the stocking list - I have set up a auto feeder using a high flow peristaltic pump with a flush system

Thanks

Or I could swap the cardinals for 1 bangaii and some high-hats

you definitely got room here for options
…you could swap but be advised bangai cards sometimes pair and don’t school per se …. mine just fought all day …depends

Do you think I could do the same list but with 3 hi-hats and 1 bangaii instead of the ostorhinchus cardinals?

High hats get bigger than I would want. Bangaiis are great, but it's safest to keep a a single one

Decided on this for now - I want to keep fish in a much larger tank then they need

1 Yellow Coris Wrasse


1-2 bangaii cardinal (if I can find a mated pair)


1 Mandarin Goby


1 Red firefish


1 Ecsenius Blenny
