Fish suggestion thread
I am having a difficult time determing what fish I should get next for my 125 gallon and was looking for help. My current stock list is in my signature. If you think I am already "full" or "overloaded", please let me know.
I have recently tried to add a cherub angel(took a risk on not being reef safe) and a firefish pair, but my hogfish terrorized them all. For this reason, I am not looking for smaller fish(ex.goby's) or more passive fish(cardinals). I am hoping to only get fish that won't risk my corals/anemones/clams/shrimp.
Here are a few fish I had considered but had reservations about:
Leopard Wrasse(difficult eaters)
4 Lyretail/Dispar/Bartlett Anthias(difficult to get eating)
Cirrhilabrus solorensis(I have read from many sources their colors fade a lot over time)
Longnose Hawkfish(possible shrimp eaters)
4 Flasher wrasse's(hogfish would likely terrorize them)
Take into consideration that I have a 125 gallon tank, but it is only 4 feet long. I tried a regal tank and a bluechin trigger, but both became very aggressive with time and paced as they got bigger. Also, I'm not big into spending a lot on a single fish as I have seen too many hardy fish die for no apparent reason. Also, I am hoping to get something with some different color than what I already have.
Thanks.
