tired of the pain in the butts...

well i had my 80 gal tank set up for salt but it was way too expensive to get running and have enough fish to look good. so now i have them all set up in the 46 bow front tank. my damsils were getting too big so i took them out because they killed one of my few fire fish and kept the other one hidden under a rock for the last day. now that i got the damsils out, he is still pretty skidish but comes out a bit. well, the thing is, i want to make my tank 100 percent "fool proof" meaning that i dont want any of the fish to be agressive towards other fish, or towards shrimp, or anything like that. can you guys tell me if this is a good set up so far:

2 clown fish
1 fire fish
1 little puffer (not a good fish to have i would say)
1 blue hippo tang
snails and hermits

what would be some good fish to add and should i get rid of the puffer? i would like to get a yellow tang. please help

Kaudern's Cardinal, spotted cardinal, Coral Beauty,yellow watchman goby,scissortail goby,royal gramma can bee cool to keep..and best off they're hardy
Your tang ..better be the last one introduced.

u should have check the compatibility chart before stocking so many types especially damsils.

yellow tangs are pretty cool and eat algae. so its part CUC

i wouldn't put any tang in a 46gallon its way to small

Agree, especially as that tank is high rather than long.

I have a Canthigaster in my reef, and he's quite well behaved (except for killing almost all my clean up crew), but it's a bit risky. A small coral beauty would be very, very nice.

oh..yeah 46g..no tang friendly

 

[twistedimage92]

what about the puffer? what should i do with him?

generally puffers arnt reef/invert safe

I agree, though I prefer my pygmy angel over a coral beauty. Any of the fairy wrasses too!
