MONSTER FISH suggestions for my new 150gallon tank?? HELP!

[LUCKYCAT]

Here's what i would stock the tank with...

1x Leichardti
2x Endlis
2x Ornates
2x NTT and IT..(One of Each)

Otherwise go for salt..

Get a Moray and a Radiata Lionfish..

NTT=North Thailand Tiger
IT=Indonesian tiger
They are both Datnoides. There is a Dat forum here on MFK. Check out the stickies. I've heard you can have aggression with small numbers of Dats. Best to have only one dat or a school from what I remember reading. I only have 1 NTT with no other Dats so hopefully someone with more experience could confirm that. Mine does'nt bother the rest of the non-Datnoide tank mates at all. Awesome fish.

Here's a pic of my little NTT to give ya an idea what they look like.

I have seen one sensical suggestion in the thread other than the dats and polys, all other fish will out grow this tank far before you deem them to big. Your better off filling your tank with sand and looking at that than mistreating the fish you simply admire. Find some fish that will not outgrow the tank to love. Trust me there are plenty out there. but hey thats just my 2 cents worth.

well if i got a GG and it ended up to big... i'd get a bigger tank or find a good home for it

If you cannot upgrade you could run into problems finding it a good home after it outgrows the 150. It will be BIG by then and finding someone to house such a large fish could be a chore. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
