Everyone let me know what your true and honest opinions are in regards to having this group of fish together in a 65gal together with 65lbs of live rock! Do you think I could have some Softies with the Angel? Let me know! All you reefers, beginners to experts!

Is this a serious question lol? If you are referring to the fish in the title, I don't think any of them should be in a 65 individually let alone together? Maybe I am misunderstanding the question.

Your going to need min. 125 and that's dropping the trigger. That trigger will have fun in a not good way with the eel and probably lion fish. The Blue Ribbon isn't a good fit unless you get a bigger tank, say "NO" to the trigger, and understand them, not a beginner eel. Not many eels are suitable for a 65, the golden dwarf moray eel comes to mind.

The ribbon eel doesn't fit the temperament of that group regardless of tank size, are difficult fish and require specific care.

The rest of the fish need a much, much larger tank.
