Stocking Suggestion for a 375g

[Pufferpunk]

Puffers are lively, interesting, intelligent & sensitive creatures. If they really want the porc, then why not make that the main display fish & surround it with interesting, smaller, colorful dither fish, like clowns, wrasses, a school of chromides, etc, rather than making it compete for food, space & getting picked on by other, more aggressive predators?

This would make a killer tank

Its a "predator tank" but very minimal aggression from the fish. These are all community predators so to say.




Puffer punk has another great idea.

I mean if they plan on keeping him for a while, i have seen some 18in puffers.


Stock goes
Zebra moray
niger trigger
blue throat
french angel
magnificent foxface
dragon wrasse
emperor angel
porc puffer

Nice combo. How big is that tank?

Well this guy wanted a stock list for the 375. This is just my suggestion. If i didn't have shark and rays this is probably the tank i would do for a predator community.

if it was my tank I'd put a titan trigger in there....or maybe some big angels.

Thanks for all the help As far as the filtration I'm leaning to letting them find a fish guy who's going to be maintaining the tank set up the filtration. The tank is a side job for me a a very small part of the project I'm doing for them (the tank is in a 1000sf library add on to there house that I'm building).

The stocking list looks good they will be real happen for a zebra eel I had told them that I didn't think he would work out in the tank.

He will probably be the nicest fish in there . Good luck man, and make sure you get some pictures up! Sounds like you really want this to turn out to be a good job!
