Hey hows it going I am new to this forum, but not to saltwater fish. I have a 75 gallon agressive tank right now with a 8" volitan, and a 4" copperbanded butterfly. I only have a few turbos right now and one strawberry hermit crab. I am adding a goldentail eel and a hogfish this week. Do you guys see any problems with these fish surviving together? Also do you guys have any suggestions on some more inverts that would work well with them?

the problems i see are the volitan will need like a 180 gallon tank and is already too big for your tank now and the golden tail will need at least a 100 gallon fish tank and depending on the species of hogfish its a spanish hog they get like 24inches and need a very big tank the only fish i really think can live its whole life in that tank is the butterfly if you did something like a
dwarf lion
butterfly
kole tang
sfe and a
marine betta or some chromis that would be cool and all those fish would be able to live their whole lives in a 75 tank unlike the other list of fish

Everywhere I have read says that a Volitan would be fine in a 55. Mine doesn't have any troubles in my tank. Also the goldentailed moray should be fine in a 30. It only gets about 20 inches long? My hogfish is going to be a cuban which is the only one i could see as a problem. Anyone have any advice on inverts for a large agressive. Also ideas on how to secure my canopy for my incoming eel.

bare minimum would be a 55 and thats even small for a juvi, when u see a full grown volitan in a 100 u will think it looks crampt when u compare fish to tank

I agree that the Volitan needs to go back to the store.
I'm getting my 75g set up right now. It's gonna have either 2 or 3 fuzzy dwarf's and a pair of black clowns w/anemone.
