Hey fish keepers,

Well here's the story my tank has been running for the past I would say three months. In my I currently have no fish except a bunch of snails, crabs, shrimps and anemone. This is a FOWLR, don't want reefs lol. Well I used to have my 2 inch porcupine puffer, 1/2 clark clownfish, 3 inch long nose hawkfish, 2 inch scooter blenny and 8inch snow flake eel in the 72 but not the've been in quarantine tanks for about 4 weeks. The puffer developed ick, so i place all the fish except the eel in a 10 gallon tank and the eel in it's own 10 gallon. I did this because the eel didn't go for my clown because he was always in the anemone. Well in about 2 weeks I should be able to place the hospital fish back into the main for the cycle of ick to die out and medications in the hospital to take effect.

^Little Background lol
Well my question is:

What fish would you put with the puffer, clown, hawk, blenny and eel in the 72? Thanks any ideas will be great....
 
it's already kind of an odd mix with a few fish becoming potential meals considering the full size/eating ability of a porcupine puffer.

if i were to add i'd go with a type of tang or rabbitfish, both would add good color and will hold their on against the others short run and long run
 
The puffer will generally outgrow a 72 gallon but all the other fish should be fine although the scooter may become a hawkfish meal. I don't know that I would add any other fish. Maybe a medium size lionfish (radiata) or a marine betta.
