Common plecos also get really large, to large for a 150 gallon IMO, and for the bichirs id get more than one of the smaller upperjaw species.

Freshwater lion fish are similar to freshwater moray eels, their best in brackish or even full marine, not sure if the lion is good in full marine though, but they do have very large mouths I no that.

They are brackish but I personally have kept them in freshwater and I believe some others on here have as well. They have a 20yr lifespan which mine did not make it to, whether or not that had to do with being in freshwater only...I don't know. I did have him for almost 6 yrs and i'm not exactly sure how old he was when I got him. But here is a thread with more info. Good Luck.

Have you looked at Mogurnda Goby or Oxyeleotris marmorata, the Marble Goby. They can get pretty large in the wild but in captivity are rarely ever seen over 12 inches. The morgundas get to maybe 7-8 inches max. Pretty cool looking fish as well
