  1. depending on tanksize later...

    the tangs are questionable as they can be aggressive to eachother in a smal tank.

    Also cleaner wrasses are very hard to care for you will need more fishes for it to clean as it is hard to feed.

    Also seahorses need special aquariums, they cant really be housed with tangs for the swiming caps, and they would like a slow moving tank.


  2. Okay, heres the deal, 2 clownfishes is alright with each other, 2 blue tangs, which tangs do you mean? A powder blue tang or a Blue hippo tang? Blue hippos are fine, but 2 powder blue tangs is not, they'll fight each other and that is why it's only recommended one per tank, it also depends on how big your tank is too. Same goes for the yellow tang. As for the cleanerfish, it's very hard to take care of these fishes. These fishes doesn't last too long in aquariums. These fishes are very fragile and you need to know exactly what you are doing in order for them to have a good life in the tank.

    2 of that yellow and purple thing called Gurgle, is called a bicolored Blenny. This fish is okay to have, you shouldn't have any problems with this fish.

    As for Seahorses, they are more fragile than fish, if the salinity of the water goes higher or lower, this can harm the seahorse and will possibly kill the seahorses. This is recommended for experienced hobbyists only. If you want to take a chance, you can try, but it's very hard to upkeep them, on top of that too, Seahorses are very expensive and the supply of Seahorses is declining due to Global warming and due to the catching of Seahorses in the wild.

    Anyways, overall, I think that you can make it happen, however, if you are considering all of that fishes, you should openly do your research through wikipedia or about.com of marine aquariums, it'll tell you the equipment that is necessary, on top of that too, you'll need a large tank for all of these fishes.

    I hope that this helps, thanks for asking...............

  3. it depends on how big the tank is but yes just take away the sea horses and a 1 more clown fish and 1 more blue tang

  4. That sounds appropriate to me. (except for the sea horses) YOu would want to make sure that you have plenty of live rock. (are you using live rock- you should)  and anenomie for the clowns.  

    is the "gurgle"  a slug type creature?  

    And I think that sea horses need a much stronger current- they also need more of a reef habitat.  and the tangs  might bash on them.

  5. YOu would want to put seahorses by themselves
