Input on Fish List

[cowgirldani]

I have a 250 gal mixed reef tank, at the moment it is bare bottom but we will be adding sand. Here is the proposed fish list, please give me your input, thoughts. The setup came with a royal gramma, so that fish is already established in the tank.

Chevron Tang
Desjardinii Sailfin Tang
Purple Tang
Male Blonde Naso
Purple Square Anthias
Yellow Anthias
Falco Hawk
Red Sea Mimic Blenny / or / Midas Blenny
Springeri Dottyback

I'm assuming anthias are gonna be in harems?

 

[cowgirldani]

Now how do the anthias groups work? I have to have the pink square, love those. But if I put one or two yellows in there, will they coexist? How does it work if they are different varieties of same species?

 

[soyadrink]

Both of those are anthias that do a lot better in harems(one male multiple females). It depends on the species but I think two small harems(one of each) would work in a tank the size of yours.

One male Anthias to 6-8 females is the general rule of thumb.
