Help me plan my next fish addition(s)

[Dozer]

Ok I have a standard 125g display tank (6' long, 18"deep, 24"tall), 55gal tank used for sump/fuge that's about half full or so. Skimmer. 2 X 250W 20K Coralvue DE pendants. Whole bunch of live rock and live sand bed. Tanks been running about a year or so.

Current inhabitants: Two fairly large mated maroons. Small six-line wrasse. Medium to large Naso Tang. Green wolf eel. Long tentacle anemone that I recently bought which isn't too big yet, but if I can keep the bleeping female maroon away from it long enough to get it stable and secure and bigger, it will be her and her mate's house. Also have some snails and hermits of course. For corals I have only a few softies. Some blasphemosa, a few Zenia's, a Zoanthus colony and a bunch of frogspawn.

So, I'm at a creativity block. I have some time as I just added the Naso, LTA and the eel all fairly recently and don't plan to buy anything else for a little while. But I'd like to do the research now and try to decide. I would like the option to keep some corals- LPS and SPS- in the future. Not necessarily real difficult things, and not necessarily large quantities of corals, just some to look somewhat balanced between corals and fish.

I'd love some opinions on what else I should consider adding in terms of fish- and how many more. So just start throwing things out there that you think might look cool and be a good healthy group that gets along pretty well, if you wouldn't mind. I would really appreciate the opinions!

A Green Wolf Eel? Is this what you have link?

If so, please note that it will eat fish as well as crabs and other crustaceans. You probably won't have much of a cleaning crew once he gets through eating.

It also gets huge!

I don't know if that's the same one, but it's this: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...cfm?pCatId=135

I don't think it will get much longer than a foot. They don't get nearly as big as snowflakes. However, I have been thinking recently it wasn't the smartest purchase. What does everyone think, should I consider taking him back?

check out the compatability chart... there compatable with box fish & large angels... not a lot of choice there

Thanks jaded. I've only read about a trillion posts about not making an impulse purchase and doing all the research beforehand and not taking the word of a LFS about a livestock purchase- and now I've finally done it myself. Very dumb.

Now the fun part, figuring out what to do about it...

Here is what I found at Marine Depot: The Congrogadus subducens grows up to 18 inches. The Wolf Eel prefers a tank of at least 60 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim. The Congrogadus subducens is a carnivore and likes to eat meaty treats (like live feeder, fiddler crabs, small fish & grass shrimp). The Wolf Eel is a low maintenance fish and may act aggressively toward other fish. Keep with caution in a reef aquarium; may eat/nip at crustaceans & fish. Keep water quality high (SG 1.020 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F). The Wolf Eel is commonly collected from the Indian Ocean.

A. Take it back to LFS (if they will take returns; most don't).
B. Sell/Trade it on this website.
C. Set up a species tank or aggresser tank.
