Wow fish for a 65 gallon?

[cdemoss01]

I have the blue.

Got it. Did you order them online or from an LFS? I'm gonna order two here soon one for each side.

EDIT: Sorry misread your post - you were referring to the Tangs.

I’d disagree strongly here. My urchin munched it all away in about 10 days and haven’t seen any in a year.

I had 3 turbo snails in a 75g display and they never made a dent.

Sea hares will do it too, but I’m told they’ll likely starve after the GHA is gone.

Yeah I tried to edit it cause I realized it didnt make sense lol. Unchins eat lots of stuff!

LFS won't get any sea hares, I've got 5 turbos in now, got them yesterday. When should I expect them to start eating?

I put them in the algae when I acclimate them so they see it. They will eat it when they discover it.

I have a marineland 65 gallon that is 4 ft long. Current stocking is a marble wrasse, one clownfish and one Royal gramma. I want to add one more clownfish a white tail bristle tooth and some sort of a wow fish. What do you guys recommend?

If we have unlimited money glitch yellow tang

Seen some recommendations for Flame Angels, I had one that was a complete jerk (bully and coral nipper). Had a Coral Beauty for a while that was a pretty well behaved, but now I have an African Flameback that is my favorite of the Angels that I have owned. Doesn't bother much of anything and eats Green Hair Algae to boot. IMHO it's a great alternative to those wanting a Flame Angel:

too small a tank for anthias.

How about a fairy wrasse?

Disagree.
I had 5 anthias in my old 5 foot 65g. 4 dispars, and one Pseudanthias hypselosoma that was about 4".
The dispars schooled fairly well and the hypselosoma swam actively around the tank and was often picking fights and almost winning with my baby whitecheek tang i had. The dispars however tended to hover in one area. Anthiases don't really act like wrasses or something that constantly roam, if you have an area of high flow they'll often just swim on the spot facing the current.
A smaller species like dispars or tuka would be fine, if they will eat.

Flame angel. They are reef safe as long as you offer sponge in their frozen food diet.

How do you know and what kind of sponge?

yea i guess a 5 foot tank would be fine. when i think of a 65 I think of a 3 foot tank, 4 at most. Length definitely matters. I’m surprised they made a 65g that long. Never saw one mass produced.

And yes to flame angels! I had one years ago and it was the nicest fish i ever had other than some clown loaches I once had. Never touched my corals.
