What tank size?

[stacy]

I am thinking of setting up a tank to keep a snowflake eel, tomatoe clown, hawk, and maybe a blueheaded wrasse. Any suggestions on tank size and my stocking selection would be appreciated.

Probably a 40 gallon tank would work quite pleasureably.

Depending on how much room you have, get the largest possible tank you can afford, and then over-extend yourself and get one size bigger. in my opinion you can never have too big of a tank!

Thanks for the input. If I wanted to add a dwarf lion to the mix do you think a 80 gallon would be big enough?

I ended up with a 55 gallon. Got a good deal. I want a snowflake, clown trigger, and dwarf lion. Would these work in a 55? If not what would you suggest? Also there is no filtration on this setup. So any input on filtration would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

well that clown will get way too big for a 55

Ya I looked up the info on him. Didn't realize that they got the big. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for all the help. Now I just need to get the tank going. I'll have a few weeks to checkout these fish and make a decision.
