Help stocking a 150g FOWLR

[TommyDelaney]

I have recently upgraded from a 45g to a 150 60x25x23 and have been trying to make a good list. So far I think I really want a zebra eel and a fu Manchu Lionfish, a couple tangs, and a yellow long nose butterfly. I do not know if it’s possible to keep those together but any suggestions for tangs I could keep or other fish such as wrasses or triggers?

Welcome! The 150 is gonna give you a lot more options but I would be careful with a "couple of tangs" in there, you might get some push back from some folks here (i.e. the tang police). Also the Zebra Moray gets pretty big I believe (4-5 feet?). Maybe consider a smaller species? Or another future upgrade!
If your going with predatory fish then a harlequin or a trigger should be fine. Its a good size but you will run out of room eventually. I would say skip the tangs, add a pair of triggers, a wrasse or two, the lion and a maybe the eel (depending on species).

Thank you so much for the reply on live aquaria they have the eel listed for a 125 but I’ll keep the size in mind. I had been looking at the harlequin but I thought they needed to be in a bigger tank I’ll definetly look into them though. Would I be able to keep a pair of them?
