From this list I currently have the blue tang and tomini tang

I also have the clownfish, firefish, cleaner wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, ornate leopard wrasse, blue throat fairy wrasse and 6 chromis

I will be getting the yellow tang, royal gramma and Midas blenny soon as well as the earmuff wrasse and choats red leopard wrasse

Currently I have the ornate leopard wrasse but I’ll be changing that one out for this other leopard wrasse as it seems much more vibrant and also unique

As for the Anthias, I plan on getting one male and three females, the reasons I want them are firstly I love how they look and secondly, I heard and also saw somewhere that when you keep two schooling fish in the tank, they tend to make each others schooling behaviour come out more if that makes sense, then like my chromis will also form somewhat of a tighter school and there won’t be any aggression between them

I actually started off with 7 chromis and they started to fight a lot, so I caught 6 of them and kept them in the refugium, while the smallest one remained in the display and fattened up a bit, later on when I added them they were completely fine and then suddenly one of them just disappeared, I the pipes, filters and every gap between the rocks, it was just gone, but these 6 are doing good now for the past 4 months and they don’t fight among themselves at all anymore either

No on the sail fin. They will outgrow that tank so fast. I just took in a sailfin that outgrew the guy’s 160 gallon within 3 months. He is 7 inches tall and 7 inches long. They get to be the size of a dinner plate. My naso in the picture is 6 or so inches and my foxface is 7 and my eel is 20 inches long for size reference. I didnt realize how big these fish get until I saw him cause they are all small in the store! Otherwise I like your list

Ah I see thank you so much! Are there any alternatives to the Desjardinii? They look really nice!

As far as the patterns??

 

[reefinginBD]

Yeah like any other fish with similar patterns? If not I may add a white tail kole tang tho

Not that I can think of. But if you did the white tail take the tomini off. Both are bristletooth tangs and most likely wont get along in that size tank

 

[reefinginBD]

Ah I see then I won’t get it as I like the tomini

Then I might get a Foxface instead

Should be okay, they do get very big though! So just leep that in mind with otherfish. My two are peaceful and dont bother anyone

 

[reefinginBD]

I see thank you so much!

I see thank you so much!

There are also other rabbits than foxfaces. One does have lines linea, might ve worth a look to see if you like it and it reminds you of the sailfin

Regal angels also are stunning

 

[reefinginBD]

I’ll definitely look into the other rabbits then! I love how regal angels look but unfortunately they are reef safe with caution and the lfs told me that all 4 they sold had to be relocated to fowlr tanks. It may be the location from where the fish are caught and sent here

Ah I forget about corals since my big tank is fowlr. I have a small 32 gallon reef though lol
