Hello everyone! I'm setting up a 225 gallon fowlr in a couple of months and I'm trying to figure out if these fish are okay to go together. Here's my list:
Humuhumu rectangle trigger
Snowflake eel
Emperor angel
Dog face puffer
Yellow tang
Fuzzy dwarf Lion fish
Fox face rabbit fish
Powder brown tang
Raccoon butterfly
Tear drop butterfly
White cheek tang
Kole yellow eyed tang

Any feedback is appreciated, even if you've owned any of these fish and know some interesting habits they have!

2 things stand out as potential issues. The first is the lion with the trigger, puffer, and angel. It is not really the best situation for the lion. Might get nipped or even worse killed. The second issue is the powder brown and whitecheek tang. This sounds like a fight waiting to happen. Pick one of the two. Other than that i like the list.

Okay I'll scratch the lion fish & I'll pick the powder brown tang. If I threw a clown trigger into the mix, is it going to be too aggressive once it matures?
