yet more stocking questions

[1spotpooalot]

I am putting together my 210fowlr and thinking about my choices. I would like to try and keep some small schooling fish, even if they are chromisbut I also want some predatory fish. ...so...my wish list is,......

1- Niger triger
2- queen angel
3-emporer angel
4-Sno-flake eel
5-Dog face puffer
6-sohal tang
7- scool of smaller fish...Anthias mabey


The trigger, puffer, and the eel are what I am worried about when it come to the small fish. Are there any other types of these fish that can get along with the little guys?...or do I nee to scrap the school?

[Geoff]

if you get a Zebra eel instead of a snowflake you will not have to worry about your fish. they are exclusively crustacean eaters. they do not have the sharp grabbing teeth of the other morays.

the puffer as long as it is not a huge one should be fine with most fish also. Anthias do not school. chromis only school when they are young. about the only fish i know of that school are glass cardinals.

thank you...Ive been misinformed I guess...I thoought both anthias and chromis schooled
What about the behavior of the trigger...will he attack the smaller fish?

[Geoff]

Niger Triggers are considered planktonivors, they are less planktonivores than those in the Xanthichthys genus. so it should not be a problem.

Anthias are heirom fishes. they kinda stick to gether, but in our small tanks this does not look like a school, but in the wild it almost could. green chromis do school when tiny, but when they grow up they spread out across the tank.
