    Default Fish list for a 125? Is this ok?

    1. Blue jaw trigger
    2. Saddleblack clownfish
    3. Flame hawkfish
    4. Chromis
    5. Banggai Cardinal
    6. Melanurus wrasse
    7. Possum wrasse
    8. Yellow Tang
    9. Snowflake Eel
    10. Blue girdled Angel


    Im going to transfer over fish from my 75 to my 125, and was wondering if the eel and the angel would be good to add? those two would be the last fish to stock for a 125

    Your not worried about the Possum wrasse being dinner for the eel? Our eel would eat him and anything else small enough for his mouth. He once ate one of our lion fish.

    Looks good! You can probably double that fish load. As for the snowflake eel, they are reef-safe (if no shrinps or crabs in the tank) and crustacean eaters, your wrasse should be safe.

    Ive heard they could sample the smaller fish or that they could take one down during feeding by accident. So im not sure if i should get rid of the small fish or just not add an eel?

    chromis, possum wrasse, flamehawk, cardinal could be a meal for it. Ive never owned an eel so it's something i'd like to try since theyre interesting

    everyone think i should get rid of the small guys instead?

    yea the eel shouldnt bother the wrasse....ballardjr has a snowflake eel and has a small six line wrasse as well as a green mandarin....the eel doesnt bother them one bit....he hand feeds it krill....like i said no problems

    Depends on the Eel some are better then others. I still wouldn't pet one.

    Snowflake and zebra moray eels are fish safe and often kept in reef systems. They will not bother your fish, that is not what they eat. They are crustacean eaters though and any shrimp, crabs or lobsters will disappear.
