New 90gal questioning on which fish

[PolandSpring]

I am planning on getting a new 90 gal tank, and thinking on soon starting off with a reef in a while. I was just wondering which type of fish would be good to start off with, but of course still nice looking. I am also interested in a Snowflake eel and was wondering if it is a good idea.

Hmmm snowflake eel I'm not sure about them with certain fish. Goto liveaquaria.com they have a good read on all fish. Since ur getting a 90g u can pick out a good variety of fish

aright thanks ill go check it out..but are they reef safe?
i would say i would get a yellow tang, bluehippo tang, or maybe a purple tang, six-line wrasse, and those do you think it would go together? Because i think they are awesome how they swim

EEL AND FISH DONT MIX, UNLESS YOU FEEDING YOUR EEL.

AND THIS WEB SITE WILL SHOW YOU TANGS FOR YOUR 90.
I RECOMMEND THE BLUE TANG OR YELLOW TANG FOR THEY ARE BOTH GOOD FOR BEGINNERS. I PREFER YELLOW TANG.

eels are most of the time reef safe the draw backs are they knock corals over and will eat any fish,shrimp,snails,or crabs they can fit in thier mouths.and some grow very large.

aright, yah then i think it'd be safer for me to go without one,

thanks guys

I would start out with a very small snowflake eel. Make sure you have a closed tank. Generally speaking they won't eat the corals. I say start is small so that they can't eat your fish and keep him well fed. JLAudio had a snowflake eel in his Reef for a very long time and it did fine.

DONT get a six-line wrasse. If you dont you can have multiple other wrasses in the tank that are cooler. Dont make the same mistake I did.

All i know is I wish I had a 90 gallon to decide what fish to put in hahaha

JEALOUS

good luck
Lucky man

6 line wrasses if added should be the LAST fish in the tank. It will also compete very heavily for pods. FYI

I added my six-line first and ive never once seen him attack anything ever. Weird.
