really indecisive, haven't stocked my tank any more yet...

Ok, so I posted a while ago wanting ideas for my 110gal FO SW tank.
I had at the time a Sailfin tang (has now been given to a friend) A Lunar Wrasse, and a Volitan lion. As well as 3 engineer gobies that live under the rocks that were in there while I was cycling that tank, but they're just so neat looking when they DO come out that I'll keep em.
Currently I still have the Lion, the Wrasse and the Gobies.

I would really like another decent sized showy fish to put in there, but I don't know what else would look good. I was thinking maybe some type of trigger or tang, but I'm not sure, maybe a type of puffer, or another species of wrasse.
The wrasse I have is not aggressive towards any of the current inhabitants, though he does eat like a pig. Lionfish could care less if it's too big to fit in it's mouth... and the gobies just exsist and go with with the flow.
I was thinking about getting an eel, but the gobies are "eely" enough and I don't want something that will hide all the time.
No corals or other inverts besides a few snails, and I don't mind so much if those get eaten anyway as they are not the focus of the tank.

i like tangs myself. i think the easier to care for tang would be a hawiian. it can still get sick and tangs DO get sick very easily so i would recommend doing your homework on them first. triggers are cool, but i would watch the wrasse and gobies. im not sure what wrasse you have but it may not get that large and could be food down the road.

The wrasse is already a lot larger than when I got him. He's about 6" so far and still young (tailfin is white, adults tails turn yellow I guess) Also known as lyretail wrasse, and was labeled at my pet store as a Moon Wrasse, I've read that they reach about 10" and they appear to have a pretty decent girth for a long-bodied type fish.
The gobies hang out together in a tight group, and while they aren't very big (about 4-5" each), they are very long like an eel. I'm sure once my lionfish gets bigger he'd consider them a snack, but for now he pays no attention to them whatsoever. I have read these get about 12" or so, but because of their burrowing habits they don't need a lot of tank space as they hide most the time.
I like tangs, but they seem too "wimpy" I want something personable, active, and predatory.

yeah lyretail wrasses are a very pretty wrasse. if you want something with attitude then try a trigger. they are pred and for the most part do fine with a lion.

I'd forget about a puffer--it may nip at the lion, then--Oh no!

 

[BIGgourami]

why not a butterflyfish? or an angel?

i would go for both lol. there both a pretty fish. No i would pick one that you like better to make sure theres no issues with the lion and wrasse. butteryfly fish would be another great option and you could introduce one after the trigger. theres many options on them and there active fish
