FOWLR aggressive tank ideas

[travis furia]

Iv good 2 green spotted puffers and a fugu puffer I'm sum what trying to find a new home for. The fish stores sell them at fresh water but when u do research they live in salt water and go up stream to bread. So that's were they r mistaken for fresh water. They only get about 6 inches but it's food for thought I'm happy to give them a good home.

Don't Twin Spots get big and need a deep sand bed? No real knowledge on those though.

I really looked at getting a Pink face a while back. So cool looking.
But they do get a bit mean and territorial, so you have to add them last.
But since I never found one actually in stock, decision was moot.

I like all the other ones on the list. I had a Mystery Wrasse as well for a while. Great fish.

Just a thought:
If you just stick to these :
antennata lionfish (or two)
snowflake eel (or a couple)
harlequin tusk
Mystery Wrasse

It opens you up to more peaceful/semi-agressive mid-size angels and others.
* Regal Angelfish
* Magnificent Foxface (I have one. They are peaceful, but can easily fend off aggressive fish)

Thanks, those are both great ideas. But if I did that, what would be the staging of the fish

thinking Lion fish, tusk and eel at 1st, then maybe the foxface or angel then the wrasse?

Not sure.
Opinion: Look at which is the most territorial, not the most aggressive, and add those last.
It will vary depending on what size/age you manage to find also.

The randomness of what you can actually find in store/online messes with the best of your planning.
