I kno how to maintain everything but i just wanna kno what aggresive fish or eels could go in it. I got 75lbs of LR and i got alot of sand. I cleaned the tank out reallll good. Took my old sand out and put new but kept the LR. Can someone tell me what Fish or Eels can go in it.
Thank U 4 Ur Time

Welcome to the boards!
There are some very helpful people that will chime in and help. I will let them talk/give advice about the tank before I do.

Hey most people on these boards are going to skip right over your post because you don't write out your words. Please do us a favor and spell out everything.
As for your tank it really depends on what you want. the midsized eels will do ok in a 125. And maybe a smaller trigger.

Alright, How about one mid-sized eel. Like a Snow Flake Eel. I was thinking One snow flake eel, One Frog Fish. That's all I got in mind for now. Can I add other fish to the aquarium with them if the frog fish is fast enough to get to the food before the other fish. I might have to hand feed the frog fish. If I have to ill do it. No dought about it but i for sure want a frogfish and a snowflake eel or some type of eel that is mid-sized

Frog fish are very very very cool to have. Although if he is under 2 inches you will most likely have to hand feed it like I do mine. 110 I think is AMPLE room for an juvenile Snowflake Eel. Hell it took 2 years for my tesselata to outgrow my 125. Frog fish aren't really even aggressive until they get large. They are very shy and quite a timid fish until they get about 2 or inches long ( coincidentally when their mouth's are huge).
Welcome to the hobby.

Man, The Egregious. You are getting me all excited
. I def wanna get me a frogfish or two but you kept a tesselata in your 125? That's tight. When you got him or her how big was it? and did it have any tank members or your kept it by its self? I probably wont get me a snowflake eel. Something more that keeps its mouth open when it breaths, looking all mean and what not. Does anybody think I can keep a frogfish, a mid-sized eel and some type of groper or lionfish or trigger. I really like the snapper. I saw one at the near saltwater store and it was about 1 1/2 inches. Feel totally in love with him but I wanted to see what kind of answers I would get if I asked yall if I could get one.

I agree with slackjawed, I would really love to see some movement in my tank. Were i can just drop food in there and they attack it. Do triggers get along well with frogfish cause no dought ima get a nice one in there

no triggers and frogfish will not get along. They will kill the frogfish.
Triggers will nip at anything that looks like food to them. They are lightning quick and are meant for only aggressive tanks. Your frogfish is considered aggressive because it will eat fish, but it cannot do the damage that triggers do.
As far as putting multiple triggers in your tank as Slackjaw suggests, it is not advisable.
A 125 is a good size tank, but cannot support a large trigger by itself through maturity (queen, blueline, titan trigger).
IMHO - get your snowflake or a nice Brazillian moray, a frogfish, and a couple of other larger fish (one tang, a dwarf angel, and a mid-size angel [cream, rock beauty, singapore, flagfin])
Please dont listen to someone that says 15 triggers in a 180 is a good thing when each of them will average 15" when full grown in 2-3 years if fed correctly.

Thanks! It is a Clarion angel. It is one of the rarest fish in the hobby. I have a 180 and am upgrading to a 375+ this year. You can see my tank and all my inhabitants in my thread about my queen angel arriving :)
Good choice with staying with your frogfish. They are very cool. Keep in mind they dont need a ton of space, so your tank will look very bare. Think about some some other fish that can go with them.
As for the going south part. It has been an ongoing issue with some members of the forum (not just one). They inject VERY bad advise and take none from others. They are set in their ways and it will end up badly for them. Being short-sited in this hobby is VERY bad. You need to look at the end to see the present.
Welcome to the boards and we are here for your help.
