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 - Figure Eight Puffer (maybe a group of these?)
- Knight Goby (cant decide between a few of these or some bbg's)
- Bumble Bee Goby
- Dragon Goby
- Some type of Sleeper Goby
- "Freshwater" Sole
- Butterfly Goby
- "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.
