I got a new tank today!! My friend gave it to me. Its I believe a 50gallon bowfront. Its going to be saltwater. I already have it set up and cycling. The question is what to put in it. I really want a puffer fish, but I also want a lion fish. But I dont want something that will out grow the tank?
New Tank!! YA!!

even for a toby id recommend something a little larger. Lions are a good bet and even a eel, depending on the tank dimensions. otherwise you kinda limited for larger fish. Smaller reef safe wrasses and gobies and such would work very well for that type of tank. You could also make it a reef down the road after your feet are wet for a while.
Its a fairly good size tank. It could probably take a dwarf lion? It looks bigger than it is. Its probley not going to be a reef tank. Even though it has the lighting for it. Its probley going to be a fish only tank. Since I already have a reef tank. =P

that actually usually a bad thing. means the tank is narrow (front to back)
i have over the years amassed a list of fish that are smaller versions of larger fish. because up to about a month and a half ago my largest tank was 29 gallons, so it was make it or break it.
groupers:
chalk bass
tobacco bass
harlequin bass
larger dottybacks
red tail bass
lioproma basslets (swale's, swissgaurd, etc)
eels:
meltremus eels
droolchain eels
yellowhead
white eyed
lionfish:
fuzzy dwarfs
fumanchu
zebra
radiata
puffers/triggers:
pretty much any tilefish, toby, orsharpenosed puffer
wrasses:
fairy wrasses
flasher wrasses
lined wrasses
pencil wrasses
bimaculatus hogfish
peppermint hogfish
then of course there are dwarf angels, anthias, and butterflies.. which would pretty much fit in the tank anyways
