Default 125g Stocking

Hey everyone, sorry if this has already been asked somewhere, but I was wondering if some fish would be compatable together. I'll be getting a 90-125g (125 hopefully) in a few months and I'm hoping to make it a brackish tank. Here are some of the fish I was wanting, I know some wont be able to be together (knight gobies, and bumble bee gobies), but heres just a general idea of some fish I would like to have
  1. Figure Eight Puffer (maybe a group of these?)
  2. Knight Goby (cant decide between a few of these or some bbg's)
  3. Bumble Bee Goby
  4. Dragon Goby
  5. Some type of Sleeper Goby
  6. "Freshwater" Sole
  7. Butterfly Goby
  8. "Freshwater" Moray Eel (pretty sure this wouldnt work :no

A lot of gobies I'm sure there are a lot of others I'd like, just havent seen any. I'm really wanting to get some figure eight puffers, they're by far my favorite. I think it would be pretty cool to have a lot of figure eights, and some knight gobies or bbg's. I hear it's better to get a big group of the same fish than a pair of different species. I'm pretty sure this would be overstocked Most of those fish would mostly be at the bottom, dont know a lot of brackish fish that are at the top (not a fan of mollies) I'm definatley gonna use sand as substrate, with a lot of plants (fake), caves, etc for cover. This is a work in progress, I wont get anything for a few months, just trying to do a little research. Sorry for the long post, just trying to get a vague idea for a future tank. Any suggestions/improvements would be appreciated, thanks in advance

The only thing that would not work is the moray. They'd work with anything but the smaller gobies.

I have a 75 that I'm upgrading to a 125 as well, and I will have 4 archers, 3 morays, 1 dragon goby and a stonefish.

There are a few really great brackish fish.

There are archerfish, scats, monos tiger datnoids just to name a few.

btw I know this was over a month ago - and looking again - I think the Butterfly goby is venemous - also called a dusky panther goby unless I'm mistaken.

Also, I'd be concerned with small gobies in with a puffer.

Way too many fish, and odd stocking for that size of tank, but i'll ignore that since they've never answered.

Btw: Puffers shouldn't be in a community tank, whether or not they seem peaceful. Datnoids- one species commonly brought in from brackish water "quadrifasciatus" which does equally well in freshwater, or low salinity.

Vespicula depressifrons
, Waspfish/ Butterfly "goby," is a smaller predator, that has mixed conclusions being kept in aquariums. I've personally had 5 die on me from various causes. They have venom similar to a bee sting, but only in the first three dorsal spines. Being stung is rare, IMHO.
