hi guys
this is my first time posting here.
i am setting up my 125g fowlr tank.
btw i just went to lfs to look at the tank i ordered and it was nice

i am planning on getting a tessalata moray in the tank.
and i need some help deciding on what kind of fishes are good to keep with a tessalata.
my list in my head(not sure if they are all compatible)
tessalata moray(2 of them possible?)
panther grouper or miniata grouper
wrass of some kind( recommendations?!! )
lion fish(volitan?)
im pretty sure about getting tess,lion,grouper. i would like some fishes that will swim around alot~ very active ones.
any help or suggestions greately appreciated.
thanks in advance :help:

i don't think you should get tesselatas because they will grow real big and need at least a 180 gallon. you should get a volitian and a panther and a harlequin tusk. you can throw in a beautiful angel too like an emperor or french but no tesselata eel

Tessalata morays get pretty big and if your getting a 125 new your not going to upgrade any time soon so I would maybe lool into getting a smaller eel. Also they are known to pretty much eat any fish they want.

Tess. will max out around 7' - 8' and really should be kept in nothing smaller than a 240gal. tank.
Also, there really are NO tank mates for Tess. Sooner or later, everything including other eels, will be eaten.

think about some other morays. What moray you looking for, beautiful looking, scary looking, or just plain ol' big (that fits in your tank at least).
