Semi-Aggressive Salt Water Fish

Question

I am planning on starting a 100 (most likely 175) gallon salt water tank. I am planning on putting in a Volitan Lionfish, Snowflake Eel, and a Yellow Angler (Frogfish). What other types of salt water fish could go well with these?

Answer 1

I would say a clown fish.They are shy fish but go well with semi-

aggressive fish.They are also a great sight to see.

All those fish will look like a salt water aquarium.

Sure hope you get a clown fish.

Answer 2

squirrelfish

tangs

wrasses

bass

schooling bannerfish

and you could try an angel, trigger or pufferfish, but they tend to nip at eel tails and lionfish fins

just to name a few

Answer 3

Some of the larger squirrel fishes and basses (groupers) would be fine. Some of the larger angels could work as well. Fully-grown puffers are possible as well, but you'll get fin-nipping going on with a puffer.

If you could upgrade the tank a little bit more, a fully-grown Naso Tang is an option.

Beware of your eel getting picked on. I wouldn't worry about him being outright eaten, but he might get pretty badly. I personally would consider upgrading to at least a zebra eel, and adding the in the eel before any other fish.
