Stock suggestion

[jp30338]

I want to add 1 or 2 more fish to my DT.

I really want an angel like the scribbled, goldflake, personifer or regal. I also want a lionfish the radiata(first choice) or russels.
,
I am worried about overstocking so looking at some suggestions from you guys!


My current stock list is in a 180g:

sharptail eel
blonde naso tang
porc. puffer
blackback butterfly
lunare wrasse

from what I have read the puffer will pick on the lionfish's tentacles

No, they would be fine together.

I've always seen the lion fish and puffer listed as great tank mates also..

We kept a couple of large puffers in the 1000g over the years, along with a very large volitan (I miss those guys...) At one point we had a Stars & Stripes and later we had a large porcupine.

Trigger is more of a risk, IMO to picking at the lion's fin rays, but it depends on the individual.

The Gold Flake is a smaller angel. I'm partial to the Regal.


IMO you could do both.
