Big Show Fish Wanted

[clancaster23]

I put up a previous post asking about Copperband Butterflyfish and getting the general response I thought I'd get but I am looking for a larger fish to add to my 75 gallon reef and as far as larger fish go, I don't see a whole lot to choose from. Looking for suggestions.

Have you thought about some kind of tang? Kole or Bristletooth tangs would go well in your tank.

I have a kole tang in there now. Probably should have mentioned that.

If you can make the commitment to a high feeding schedule, what about school of anthias?

Anthias for Sale: Sunburst, Lyretail and other Anthias

How about a foxface, they have great personalities.

 

[clancaster23]

Hmm... Not real big on them (Anthias) but if I could find a species that gets big enough, I'd consider them.

I did have a foxface in there and it became very friendly with the kole tang. I saw a couple other kinds of foxface and was actually going to get it but didn't but if I did, I would probably do so. Can I have just two of the same Anthias in the same tank?

What all do you have,IMO a ''big'' fish fish wont be suitable in a 75....Id consider the kole or the fox face to be the centerpiece for fish.

 

[clancaster23]

Yeah, I know not to expect anything huge to have in there. The largest one in there now is the tang.

magnificent foxface

I like that one but it isn't what I was thinking of. The store I go to had a different one but I can't remember the name... it was almost a pale color that looked cool. If I would get one, I would get the magnifiscent or this one I mentioned. They don't have one on LiveAquaria so still don't know a name for it.

Could be the golden Rabbitfish but still not sure. They did have one of those there when I went on Friday.

There isn't a pale colored foxface, they change their color to that pale look when they're scared.

 

[clancaster23]

Yeah, I know that. It may have been the golden one, not sure. Anyways, it'd be that or the magnificent one.

i vote magnificent by 1000

just be sure to pay at least twice if not triple for the magnificent fox

 

[clancaster23]

Ooh, didn't realize the price but for a fish like that, I'd spring for it if it was nice enough.

 

[BL1]

They are, Divers Den gets them in pretty often that's where I got mine from.

 

[jcegt87]

yep i got mine on sale a few years back for a little over 100$ but mine was about 6-7 inches big
