65 gallon

[SePPii]

I inherited a 65 gallon saltwater tank from my buddy who didn't
Wanna take it with him on his move. It's a fish only tank has some live rock, some fake, live sand. He also gave me the power head, heater, and 2 HOB filters, a big bag of salt, a hydrometer, 2 snowflake eels, and a Yellow tang.
My Maine question is stocking? In that size of a tank can I add anything else? If so what would be good candidates to go with what I currently have? I've never had a salt tank so I'm a complete noob. Thanks in advance

The tank is a little small for those fish at adult size. You can basically put any fish in there. There might be a small a risk with the snowflakes eating small fish but you should be fine. I would get a few small hardy fish like damels, clownfish, firefish, blennies. They will add color and a little action.

Thanks for the reply man. I plan on rehoming the eels, I like them but realistically I do not have the space. Any kind of angels work? I really like the Flame and Bicolor angels

I don't really know much about angelfish. The only angel I had had was a majestic angel. He killed my grouper and was out in a day. 2 of the smaller angels such as the flame and bi color might work. If you do want to get the 2 add of them add them at the same time.

If you google flame angel and bicolor compatibility tons of thread show up.

eels should b fine imo... i had a couple snowflakes in 55's for 2-3yrs... they never exceeded 20-24" and are pretty slender... theyll tear up ur rock work but thats about it. had one 18-20" in a 10 gal for a while no prob lol... small angel should b fine also.

Either of your angel choices would be ok in that size but not both. IMO the tank is full unless you do rehome the eels

Eels are gone, picked up 2 clowns and still have the yellow tang.

Great looking clowns, How about a full tank shot. You are going to love having a saltwater tank.
