FOWLR suggestions?

[brian313313]

I have a 54 gallon oceanic corner aquarium. Filtraton is live rock and a fluval 405 canister filter, lighting is PC. I don't plan on putting coral in there so i want to get some fish that cannot be kept in my reef tank. I have already set it up and cycled it but have had trouble deciding what to keep. I like fish with personality first and good coloration second. Can anybody give me some suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian.

A puffer is a good possibility. Plus, my wife loves them. I'm not sure what thier personalities are like. I'll need to look into that.

Depends on what your into but I have a purple rhinopias frondosa with a one spot foxb face and a blue regal tang in my 50 breeder. A few suggestions that I like personally is a miniatus grouper, radiata or anteattus lion, black dogface puffer. But those are just some off the top of my head. GOOD LUCK THOUGH

I would suggest against a sowflake because of there large size ad extremely fast growth

Smaller Porcupine Puffer (since your tank wont hold them for long) and a Huma Huma Trigger - both my favorite non-reep fish with tons of personality. Get them small so you can enjoy them before you have to switch them to a larger set up...excuse for an upgrade anyway . Beware these guys put out a heck of a bio load...

Fu Manchu Lion or another dwarf lionfish. Pygmy Angel, maybe a potters or flame. Blue spot toby (puffer) they stay very small unlike a porcupine or dogface. If you did an eel I would consider a dwarf Golden moray only gets around a foot. A royal gramma and maybe a longnose hawkfish.

+1 Dwarf lion. Look at the dwarf angels that are real proven nippers though. Alot to choose from that you do not see in alot of tanks
