stocking a 150gal


i've got a small niger trigger (about 3 inches) i would like to add something else to the tank it kinda empty with just a 3 inch fish. I want to keep the stocking level low so i can provide the best conditions possible for my fish but i cant decide what to add. I was thinking about a dragon wrasse. any suggestions?

lots of wrasse to choose from
I'd look at a Harlequin Tusk, they are an awesome fish
maybe a puffer, tang, big angel, eel
lots of preds that could/should be okay with a niger trigger
or are you looking for more specific fish?

For a 150, I'd put some tangs in that bad boy! They would love that. Yellow Tangs are great and they're not as big as some others. It's all up to you, just remember to get fish that will be good to the rest of your inhabitants.

DRAGON WRASSE I had one until it got stuck in a powerhead.. Turning my 120 reef into a FOWLR and downsizing my reef to a 40 breeder. Can't wait to get another Dragon Wrasse, my favorite fish! Have a Zebra Moray eel coming tommorrow! Yeah, on with the FOWLR tank!

hey, salty65 how do you think a niger trigger would get along with a dragon in a 150 gal. Do you think i would have any problems? Ive never had a dragon. What is their personality, are they very aggresive?

well i ended up with the dragon he's perfect, very nice fish. He has a little more of a green color than the pics above. He and the niger are best buds. Thanks for the suggestion.

I just added a dog face puffer in with the niger and the dragon they seem to get along, the dog face is quite a bit larger than the others but i have had no problems.
