    see that site says the porq. gets to be 20 inches.


    if i did a dogface and a lion. can i have room for other fish that are compatible? if so...can you recommend me some so i can look them up.

    i was looking at dragon wrasses...and harlequin tusks.

    im not interested in any veggie grazers that require constant food (tangs)

    You can get any aggressive fish as long it's not a trigger or can fit in the dogface/lion mouth.

    dragon wrasses are awesome but have good sand on you; NO CRUSHED CORAL. It needs sand cuz it likes to play around in it a lot

    ideally something hardy and that could live in the 125g for life.

    i was just wondering how many fish i can get away with. this will be my only tank so i can dedicate all my time to it.

    Well it depends; do you want only large fish like lions, puffers, angels, tangs and what not? If so then your number might depend on how big those fish grow

    it would be nice to have the puffer and lion with smaller colourful fish that will fit into neithers mouth.

    i guess a tomato clown should be am example or what could be large enough

    My parents are changing the living room into tile, so that means I can a bigger tank. Right now, i'm thinking of tank from 125 to 300g. It's amazing of what you can fit in a USPS flat rate box, a 45lbs live rock, shipping is only $20.

    Oh wow well all the money on my LR went to waste! XD I'd go for like 200-250 gallons with a 55 gallon sump

    Well maybe a large maroon clownfish? it grows maximum about 6 inches so that would be a good fish.
