How is my stocking plan?

AJ_Daubz · Jun 17, 2024

Hello all!

I'm new to this hobby and have had a red sea reefer 250 set up for around 6 months. The tank is cycled and I've been slowly adding fish over the last few weeks which has been very exciting!

I currently have:
1x common clownfish pair
2x purple firefish
1x Peacock Wrasse

Everyone seems happy so far, so I'm thinking about adding some more soon. I have my eye on a dusky wrasse which I think I could just about get away with, however I'm unsure how safe it'll be around a pistol shrimp which I'm planning on getting along with a watchman Goby.

Finally I'd quite like to add either a Tomini tang (reading conflicting info on if my tank is too small) or some kind of angelfish.

I am planning to add coral further down the line once the tank is somewhat established and all the parameters have settled down.

How does this stocking plan sound? I'd really appreciate any thoughts from those with some experience in the hobby.

Thanks!
