Greetings OVAS!
I'm new to the hobby and planning my first tank, which I intend to make a FOWLR predator aquarium in a 125g with a 65g sump.
Here is my initial stock list:
- Fimbriated Moray Eel
- Volitan or Radiata Lionfish
- Foxface Lo Rabbitfish
- Trigger?
- ?
All advice, comments, suggestions are welcome and appreciated! The Gymnothorax Fimbriatus is my "goal" fish, but I'm hoping to find suitable tankmates!
Thanks & Cheers,
-Mike

Welcome to ovas.
May I suggest a marine betta
Groupers (panther grouper) or frog fish.
In a 125g you might be limited as to how many of
Those predator species you can keep, because they tend
To get quite big rapidly...but I am sure there will be some other
Suggestions from other members .
Cheers

Things have changed due to size and weight issues. Im now looking at a 75g species only tank for a fimbriated moray eel. Any advice or suggestions?
Thanks,
-Mike

Just make sure the lid is on tight and covers everything.... eels love jumping/figuring out ways to get out of your tank.
