May end up going 180, still deciding
My strategy with the lion was to buy the smallest possible dwarf lionfish and not put it in until the other fish at risk get bigger.

Predators:

1. Dwarf Lionfish
2. Snowflake Eel
3. Painted Angler Fish
4. Marine Betta (?)



For the fish below, not planning on putting all of these in, but just listing the fish I'm interested in so you can let me know what I can responsibly put in

1. Yellow or Powder Blue Tang
2. Emperor Anglefish
3. 1 Clownfish 1 Black Clownfish
4. Blue Spotted Puffer
5. Banggai Cardinal Fish (Too small?)
6. Six Line Wrasse (Too small?)
7. Foxface Lo
8. Spotted Drum
9. Engineer Goby


Thanks for any feedback!

I'll just comment on the fish I know here.

Ok let's start with getting rid of anything that will fit in the predators mouths. Next the angler as it will likely attempt to eat anything that moves potentially killing itself and it's prey.

The emperor angel will outgrow your tank but you could get it if your ok with rehoming down the road. Definitely go for the snowflake or better yet a zebra eel. Some kind of lionfish. A couple of tangs and the foxface. Maybe add the puffer but we may be pushing it here.

I hope you have some mean filtration going on!

The wrasse, cardinals, and clownfish could be at risk. If you do decide on a lion, please research their feeding challenges. You would need to establish a feeding routine in an observation tank before introduction into the display.
