Gregs Got Fish 129 Big Fish Posts: 355 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Oct-2003	I've had my 75 gallon FOWLR tank set-up for 10 months and have a Cinnamon Clownfish(9 months),a Coral Beauty Angelfish(7 months),a Dwarf Lionfish(3 months), and a Foxface Lo(2 weeks). My tank is doing very well; I haven't had any diseases or major problems with the water quality. All of my fish seem happy and get along great. So, what I need some suggestions for a fish or invert. that will get along with my current tank occupants. My budget for an invert. is $30 and my budget for a fish is $50. Please, reply!--Greg~.

With the waste that the lionfish produces I would say that you are probably pretty well fully stocked, unless you want to get fish that stay small like Chalk bass.....but then they would probably be food for the lion.
