Ordering a few fish...

[naperenterprise]

Whats up everybody....

I'm going to be ordering a Yellow Headed Moray Eel, and a Volitan Lion.
They will live in my 440 gallon lobster tank.

This tank has a large mountain of live rock, aprox 600 pounds, some corals, this tank will be primarilly a pred. tank.

Righ now the only fish that live in here are a school of green chrome, and one bi-color psudeo.

I can't catch them... Hopefully the lion or eel wont catch them either...

Anyway, what else do you suggest I order to compliment the two fish mentioned above??

A nice chardonnay to compliment those chromis! Man your tanks gonna be AWESOME!

this might be out of your budget but if you want something to stand out then instead of that eel go with a japanese dragon eel

oh also since its a predator tank, a clown or sohal tang would look killing there

I like them alot, but my supplier does carry them. I haven't seen them on the market for a while. Do you know who is selling them? I thing Live Aquaria stopped a long time ago? I really like the yellow head moray too!

? wont the lionfish eat the clownfish dustin, or was that a joke. and those fish in there right now are going to be threatend and may end up giving ich to the rest of your fish so my advice would be get them out first.? other than that your tank sounds awesome.I know some people catch small fast fish with fishing line. just wait until you get a reply.

Well I think I can handle the expert fish, but in this tank I dont want to go too hard to keep. I like the clown tang a little, but they don't excite me all that much.

Any more suggestions?

O! sorry Dustin I thought that you meant clownfish not clown tang. How about a clown triggerfish,huma huma, or my favorite the niger trigger fish.

the divers den has two for sale right now

You could try a Green Bird Wrasse. They grab other fish and bash them into the rocks to break them into bite sized chunks and they get pretty big too. Another really colorful fish is the Blue Lined Trigger. They get big too, but eh, no sticking of the hands in the tank then.
