Stocking 150g...What Fish??

[boostd2valve]

Hello...Just trying to get some ideas on my FOWLR Tank and trying to see what are some good fish and what to watch out for...tank is a 6 ft 150g with 130# of LR w/ sump...I would like to have at least 1 or 2 blue tangs and yellow tanks...not sure what else would be a good choice...I would like something colorful and active, but wouldnt mind having some things that hide here and there also....I dont want to buy stuff thats going to eat each other, I seen acouple puffers i like also...also what kind of a amount should be ok without making to much of a bioload...Thanks alot!

Puffers are unpredictable...though they may not attach your fish while small, they may when they get big.

You could always go with a large angelfish as a showpiece

I am assuming the tank is brand new?
You can do alot with a 150, but remember to take your time. I currently have only four fish in my 150. Blue Throat Trigger, Foxface, Flame Angle, and a small Fairy Wrasse. I recomend any of these, hearty and so far well behaved!

Decide if you want a few large fish, or alot of small fish, then get some varied colors and you will be looking good!

hawk fish are sweet!!! But I feel some puffers have better personalities

There are LOTS of tangs, Angels, Triggers etc that you can have, just depends on how agressive you do/don't want it to be

Some of my Fav fish are

tangs-blue hep, blue, sohal, naso, blonde naso, yellow, purple & a few others

angels - Queen & Emperor are 2 of my favorites both of which I have in my 260g. LOTS of otherones though

trigger - Niger, Hawian, Clown, queen, blue throat & the list goes on
