Stock for FOWLR

[Kopczynski]

I have recently set up a 60 gallon FOWLR tank with a fluval 406 filter and a marineland seaclone 100 skimmer I was wondering if the fallowing stock list would be ok
1 Ruby Red Dragnet
1 Kole Yellow Eye Tang
1 Lemon Peel Angel
1 Pyramid Butterfly
1 Sixline Wrasse
1 Royal Gramma Basslet
2 Ocellaris Clowns

I'm no expert of fish but I think the list is ok.The tank will not be overstocked.

The pyramid is not a good fish for a 60 and the Kole tang is pushing it (tomini tang would be better if you want a tang).

Dragonets are always tricky and should not be added until the tank is matured with a decent pod population. Possible to train it to eat prepared foods but very hit or miss. The wrasse will be in competion with the dragonet for pods and most likely win in the food race.

I concur about the dragonets even if frozen trained can be tricky since they basically graze on pods all day long really need to feed them twice a day if you have no pods at all, and some just can't be trained.

The biggest fish that may cause concern is the angel and the tang. As long as they get along together with the rest of the crew you are good.

BTW put the smallest fish in first to build a community as the dominant fish get introduced last so they are not Alpha fish in the end.
