Community FOWLR stocking ????

[chris200058]

I would like some suggestions for a begginer. I have a 125 gallon tank with 50 lbs livw rock. I would like a big variety in my community tank I would like some fish that get a little big but not too big and some that stay around 2-6 inches. My gf would like some angels and I would like a lion not sure which one yet still reading on that but what kind of fish do I start with and what type of algae cleaners do I put in the tank. I haven't found a book that suggests community vs terratorial or anything else. Can someone please help me on stocking and a timeline for when to put them in the tank?

ok in the beginning after you cycle i would get um like 5 or 6 green chromis very cool when they swim around
lions are not as much territorial as lazy except for at night i would have a lion in a community tank.
I would have any kind of angel in their dwarf or regular size until the tank is well established around 8 months of tank age in my opinon.You could get a yellow tang or a kole tang but if you get the yellow try to add them last since once they establish a territory they defend it and harass other new fish.As far as a cleaning crew I would do um like 60 turbos or so.Some margarita snails,a couple of emerald crabs,like 30 scarlet hermits and and some blue legs.
Hope this helps some

UM wont the lion eat the chromis ??? and shrimp and stuff ?? chromis are a good start they school and are freindly fish tangs are great but if you get tangs make sure you add a cleaner shrimp it helps keep them healthy IMO no tank is complete without a pair of clown fish too
hmm jw beat me again me and you picked about the same fish hehe
