I will soon be getting a 200gal or maybe 180gal(but i think 200gal) I will be transporting my banded shark in that tank. What other fish could i keep in that tank? Lionfish,stingray,puffer?
So could this work out?
banded shark,V.lion,yellow ray,(dont know about puffer). Help me out with the rest:thinking:

THose sound fine. What you cannot do when you have sharks is to have:
A wrasse, puffer, angel, tang, or trigger species. They all nip at the sharks fins, or the ray's eyes.

i dont want to be mean to you i just think maybe when you do post just let people know that it is just your opinion and not make it sound like what you are saying is the only way to do it.. i am not perfect but people that are new to this hobby need to know that what you are telling them isnt the only way.. i hope this helped :)

dude PLEASE STOP!!!! you are years away from being able to offer advice just because you posted posted and posted until your post count was over 1000 does not make you qualified to give advice. and if you read as many posts as you say than you really need to work on your reading skills
I have read almost all of your posts and i have held my tongue for a long time but I'm done
so please just stop giving advice your just wasting space!!!

Mr. Smiley, since your thread HAS ALREADY been hijacked, I can assure you that a bamboo, v. lion, ray and eel will all live happily in a 180 for some time. I have this exact combination in my 125. My rays are Calis and my eel is a zebra. Be cautioned, however, about how you feed the lion and ray. My ray comes to the surface as does the lion. By accident my male ray took a "quill" on the side of his mouth underneath his eye. To resolve this, I fed the lion first on the opposite side of the tank then dropped the food to the rays. Get them all conditioned to a feeding order to avoid problems. Hope youre still reading the thread.
