these fish ok together?

[youareafever]

just wondering if these fish will be good to go together all in a 65 gallon tank.

one potter's angel
four lyretail anthias
one manderin
two zebra blennies
and one copper band

Happy New Year Yes, those will do fine together. I'd only add the mandarin after a year of established live rock, but other then that, you should be okay.

that tank is too small for those fish.

the copperband will get around 7", the potters angel around 3-4", the anthias will each get around 5". the zebra blennies (Istiblennius zebra) will each get up to 7" long and the mandarin will stay small.

the four anthias alone need a tank of at least 125 gallons.

Personally I would avoid the CBB more for their hit/miss reputation for thriving in long term captivity than I would for fear of the size it would attain.

A single dwarf (Centropyge sp.) angel like the Potter's should be fine in a 65 gallon tank. If this is going to be a reef, consider a Cherub or one of the more "reef safe" species from this genus.

I agree that the tank is too small for a group of anthias, but a solitary male from one of the smaller species would be an option.

I have no experience with the blennies.

I agree with Len on holding-off with the Mandarin until you have a mature pod population.

JMO...
