    I really don't know what I can put in the tank that'd be friendly to the main attraction. So let me know guys!

    It's actually my uncle's old tank :p It'll need a good cleaning and maybe a re-seal. I need to drill it, and I'm horrified about drilling a tank that old :p

    Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish

    Painted Angler - these are really species only fish or a tank planned with them being the center of attention. A little walnut of a guy can take down small children if they walk too close to the tank. But he could honestly eat everything you put on your list.

    Occy Clown Pair w/ RBTA - I've seen an adult fuzzy take down an adult clown. It's a risk, but it's only a damsel, right (only kidding).

    Flame Angel - angels are pickers and the lions fins will be like flowing cotton candy. So, you know how some are ok with corals and some of the same species are not.... same goes here.

    Bluefin Angel - see above :)

    I don't know enough about the different temperaments of the different species of dwarf angels to say if one would be better than another.

    If the pane you're drilling isn't tempered, age of tank should not be a problem.

    Did you see that video of someone recently who drilled the back wall of a smaller tank- forgot what size,
    He was so careful, he actually got a hole drilled in it, then Crash- small bits everywhere- it was tempered!

    Yea but snowflakes get aggressive the bigger they get. So might have a problem down the road as it matures.
