Fish tank

Puffer lover · 04/16/2016, 02:30 AM

Hello everyone! I am setting up a 225 gallon fowlr in a couple of months and I'm stressing over the fish I have to pick for it. I have a list but I need some help if they all will get along with each other or if there is too much fish. Here's my list:
Humuhumu trigger
Niger trigger
Clown trigger
Snowflake eel
Emperor angel
Dog face puffer
Yellow tang
Fuzzy dwarf Lion fish
Fox face rabbit fish
Powder brown tang

Thank you all in advance for the help!

Personally if I wanted those fish in my tank I'd setup at least a 300 gal 8' or even a 300 gal 10' tank. The 75 extra gallons will make it a little more peaceful with some of the aggressive fish you have listed. I would also do a trio of yellow tangs instead of a single.

You could very well have bad aggression with the triggers you have listed and I think the two Humu and Clown should more than likely be a species only tank. Those are some bad dudes. The Niger is no slouch but will get along with tankmates better than the other two. IMO the only one of them I've owned was a Niger.

Hopefully Snorvich will come along and make suggestions. You can also post this in the Aggressive and fish only forum.
