 Beginning fish I have a 75 gallon reef tank with about 135lbs of live rock and numerous corals, Currently, I have a blue damsel and a yellow tail damsel. I have been told by my LFS that the damsels need to come out, so I will take them back to the LFS this week. I am not sure what kind of fish to get and how many. I am leaning towards a hippo tang and a clown fish (kids request). I would like the fish to be colorful and active. Any suggestions? My tank is about 4 months old. Also how many Hippos or other tangs could I keep.  |

| Re: Beginning fish Usually, it is recommended to only keep one tang in an aquarium, although very large reef tanks may be able to handle more. Hippo tangs are sensitive fish, so I wouldn't add one for a while. Clownfish are good, hardy fish that can be in there early on. I also like 6-line wrasse, schools of chromis, and lawnmower blennies for some easier to keep fish that do well in newer tanks..
