New fish

RayAnthony · Dec 21, 2015

So as I'm getting closer to the grand opening of my 40 gallon breeder, I started thinking of the type of fish I want in my tank. I want to first start with a clown or two, but in the long run, I really want a Mombasa lionfish, a wartskin angler, a flame angelfish, maybe a really yellow fish similar to a tang (I know I can't keep a tang in my tank), maybe a green or red mandarin? Will all these be compatible? ( probably not). I would LIKE some shrimp or crab or something but idk. Please let me know how my selection is, and maybe some suggestions on some different fish. I really would like the wartskin angler and really want the clownfish but will get rid of them if necessary. A lot of angel fish wouldn't be bad because they have a lot of nice colors. I also plan to have lps and soft corals so keep that into perspective.

The mombasa lion will eventually eat a clown, and themandarin, and shrimp, and depending on size the angel.

The angler will eat the clown, mandarin, and shrimp.

The angel may eat LPS.
