Medium sized aggressive tank upgrade

[94Roarge]

Pyramid butterfly, mono sebae, squirrel fish.

Blue throat trigger? I don't know if I really want to put a trigger in a 125g ish, but if I would, that would be the one [emoji14]

 

[94Roarge]

And how about some of the horned butterflies? In the heniochus kind of range, pennant butterfly style fish, I like them, but have never seen any except available to order [emoji14]

Triggers and other butterflies may nip a sedentary fish.

Taking into consideration it will have a burrow/cave?

 

[eatbreakfast]

Yes, even with that taken into consideration.

 

[94Roarge]

Alright, what about s keyhole angel?

 

[eatbreakfast]

That should be ok.

 

[94Roarge]

What about a tang? Bristetooth possibly?

 

[94Roarge]

I'll make a rough list of some things I'm considering [emoji14]

1. Forsters Hawkfish
2. Leopard Grouper
3. Lyretail Hogfish
4. Hardwicke Wrasse and/or
5. Jansens Wrasse
6. Bristletooth Tang
7. Keyhole Angel
8. If I can find a blenny that grows big enough
9. Maroon/another large clown pair
10. A few domino demsels as a maybe with nems for them also.
11. A rabbit species

It's rough and in no way set in stone, but there's that.

+ Banded Frogfish


Also what kind of prey size to their own body size ratio would you say they eat?

 

[eatbreakfast]

The grouper and toadfish will eat fish about as long as they are and with less height than themselves. So the grouper will be able to eat the wrasses and when full grown possibly the keyhole. No blenny will be safe with either the grouper or toadfish.

 

[94Roarge]

I have noticed I can't find any blennies past 14cm in any books :/ I had hopes though aha. Don't key holes get to like, 20cm?

 

[94Roarge]

But the hawk, hog and tang/rabbit would do alright? The hawk is supposed to get to 22cm so be pretty much the same as the grouper I think, if not bigger.

 

[94Roarge]

Or even possibly a Harlequin Tuskfish to go with the grouper and toad? Aaand maybe the Hawk + Hog depending on compatibility of course.

 

[eatbreakfast]

That should all be fine.

I've never come across a keyhole that was 20cm, the biggest was about 2/3 that size.

Neat, I got the frogfish today and the shop had had him for AGES. 6/10 of the staff used to work where I work and I talk to them regularly, they said when it gets regular feeding it didn't even attempt to eat a small blenny or small damsels that were also in a large sump section with it. So that's a bit more comforting, and it's mouth isn't as big as I imagined it.

I've found one of the keys to keeping aggressive/semi=aggressive tanks is minimal stocking. In a 125g I would put 4 or 5 fish and that's it.

I love it, I have a wartskin angler, I wouldn't count on he/she having a midnight snack. My harlequin tusk loves cruising through the rocks, I think one would look awesome with this one.
