if your going to add that harlequin tusk make him the last to go in cus once hes in your not going to be able to add any other fish without him attacking them i have heard many tanks being wiped out by those fish..he may also attck your lion and sfe just for being there

i've had a harlequin tuskfish and he was the most peaceful guy. my porc puffer and piccasso trigger really bothered him and the trigger ended up murdering the poor guy.
other than that would those five fish work. trust me i've learned the hard way and i'm going to go really slowly.

what order should I add them.
He already has the 15.5in snowflake eel.

I had a Harlequin Tusk with my fuzzy dwarf and my 2 snowflake morays and a blue hippo but I eventually lost him to marine velvet .. he was always swimming around and he ate alot .. he ate the day I got him but he never bothered any of my fish .. as for the Regal Angelfish .. they are VERY hard to keep .. if you do get one you need to get it from the Red Sea becuase these specimens are much hardier and more colourful .. in my opinion you could put a juvenile emporer angel in that tank but be prepared to either upgrade or take him out of the tank when he gets too big .. you could probably trade him in at your local fish store

What I don't want is the pressure of knowing that someday I WILL have to get rid of him. I ask myself "What if noone wants him".
OR when you mean upgrade by what time do I have to get a bigger tank.

you'd know when you'd need a bigger tank .. your angel would be pacing the tank and have chronic ich that wouldn't go away .. plus he'd just look too big for the tank .. if you won't want to trade him away then you shouldn't get him because they get to be like 13 inches long ..

right but the volitans doesn't need nearly as much room as an angel would .. a volitans lion just sits in the tank and waits for you to feed it .. they're very lazy fish .. they're not interested in swimming .. that's why it's okay to keep it in that tank for life and it would still be happy .. but the emperor needs a lot more room than that

So like an estimated time for the angel to be moved to a bigger tank. Perhaps a year or two or three.
