Yes! Feels good to be back on the Forums and getting great advise from all my fellow saltwater people :) So I finally purchased my 65 gallon rimless aquarium for me and my girlfriend of a year and 4 months today apartment that we just moved into 2 weeks ago and I have a few ideas I would like to share with yall on which fish I would love to add once it is up and going and cycled.
Stock Selections:
1- Dwarf Zebra Lion Fish
1- Toby Puffer, Blue Spotted Puffer, Saddle Valentini Puffer (Not sure which one of the 3 I would want but any one would be fine)
1- Flame Angel or a Potters Angel...I would much rather have the Flame cause it would add color
3 to 4- Blue Chromis
I would love an eel but its a rimless tank :(
What do yall think?
Yes I am from Houston Texas if yall are wondering why I keep saying "yall"


Here is a Picture of what it will look like once it comes in! So Excited!!

All your fish sounds great, but never had good luck with chromis, you may want to reconsider or maybe you'll have different luck.

That's what I have heard from a lot of people! Is it because they get super aggressive? What do you think about the Flame Angel? will it have enough room for itself to swim around? Thank you for the reply Mr. Limpid!
Oh, I was checking out the Orange Spotted Filefish...could I maybe add that to my list without overstocking or maybe another type of fish?...sorry for all the questions.

The flame is a nice fish will do great give him plenty of rock to swim in and out of.
I would pass on the file fish this hard fish for aquarium life. Look into a wrasse many colors and they are very active fish and will get along with the group you want.

Sweet! Alright, well I appreciate it! Oh one last question, what type of wrasse will go with these guys? Reef wrasse or fish only wrasse cause the reef wrasse are pretty small. When I have it setup and stuff Ill post some pics for you and whoever else that would like to see.

six line wrasse is a smaller wrasse and would go good with those fish
MJM889, I was checking out some and I see one I extremely like which are the red or yellow coris wrasse but which one would you pick. Personally I love the Red Coris. Good looking fish! I would probably have to get rid of it once it becomes an Adult though.... OR I can go with a couple of colorful Anthias. I'm basically looking for color now that I established I want a zebra dwarf lion, puffer, flame angel.

Be careful with puffers and lions - puffers can be nippy. Have you considered dwarf fuzzies, fu manchu, cockatoo wasps. Also lions and wasps can be jumpers

Hello Al&Burke!
I actually have considered looking into fuzzy dwarfs and a fu manchu. To be honest, ill take which ever little lion fish. I think they are amazing fish and have always desired to have one but I have always had small tanks like an aquapod 12 and a biocube 14 so I could never really do an aggressive aquarium. Which would you prefer, fuzzy dwarf lion or a zebra dwarf lion? Oh and reason why I like the zebra more is because I think it would swim more around the tank then just chill on a piece of live rock.

Have you looked at Fairy Wrasse's they will work fine in your size tank especially I like the Exquisite Fairy Wrasse. The Red Coris gets to large for your tank.

I actually just checked them out, not a bad looking fish. I like it because it has a lot of bright colors so that will def be a fish I look for or will order once I have my tank cycled. Thank you for your 2 cents Mr. Limpid!
