types of fish i can buy? everyone comment please.

my foxface comes right up to my hand when I put it in there...and I have a reef tank with a bunch of different corals in the tank and he doesnt bother any of them!

 

hmm any other suggestions?

 

Cleaner Wrasse, Six-line Wrasse (used to hate them, recently became a fan), and I agree about getting a small school of green chromis. In a tank that big you could get a dottyback or two, I've read they are pretty aggressive for their size and need plenty of caves and stuff, but you should be fine with 150 gallons I would think. Tangs are cool, I really want a Purple Tang, but $100 is a bit much for me to pay for something that might not even survive the first month. You can also get a tang from the genus ctenochaetus for algae control (kole, chevron, etc). I also agree with the watchmen/pistol combo, it's a cool symbiotic relationship to observe.

If you don't mind poisonous fish, I like dwarf lions. In a 6 foot tank (I assume that's how long your 150 would be) you would almost never risk coming into contact with it. And if you plan on keeping larger fish mostly, frogfish are WAAAAYY cool. They will eat almost anything that they can fit in their monstrous mouths, so be careful with little fish.

Unfortunately though, I have to +1 with everyone saying no to angels. Having a tank full of coral is more worthwhile to me than an angel fish ever will be. I hear that dwarf angels can be reef safe though.

 

If you really like the bigger angels, you could always make the 150 into a FOWLR maybe with some shrooms. With the money you would be saving on not having to buy crazy expensive reef lighting you could setup a smaller reef tank. Especially if you bought a complete used setup off craigslist.

Just an idea.
