Hello everyone, I currently have a 72"x24"x30" fish only tank. The current residents are: Volitan lionfish(4"-5"), blue jaw trigger(4"-5"), niger trigger(3"), mexican dragon eel(~20"), and a few chromis for movement. I will be getting a radiata lionfish within this upcoming week. My question is what are some great aggressive to semi-aggressive fish that could be added to this tank. Thanks

Larger tangs would be nice.

a puffer or a emporer angel would add some color

well I dont really want to go with a tang just because I hear they are more likely to get ich than other fish. The puffer sounds cool but I dont know about mixing them with lions. I was thinking about a large angel but just not sure, they are rather expensive. Any other suggestions?

Miniatus grouper is a great looking fish for a tank that size.

Spotted Sweetlips.

Not even a question, an Aussie Harlequin Tusks is the way to go.

I agree, I just got one and he is beautiful.

Well, I picked up a naso tang a couple days ago and he is doing well. He did not get picked on at all. The harlequin tusk sounds like a good and colorful fish and i may give it a try.
