Are you planning for a tank with just fish or are you wanting to do coral as well?

The stingray and shark are both bad ideas, and not feasible for any but the largest aquariums. You could however do the Dogface in your 160. You really need to do some research on fish options for your tank before you buy any.

That is definitely a bad mix of fish for that size tank and there is in no way any attempt to create a natural habitat...and that is what we are trying to accomplish.
The reasons the ray or the shark shouldn't be added is simply due to their size. They grow much too large to be humanely raised in a 160gal tank. |

I doubt a seahorse was living with any of those fish for more than a few minutes...  |

been busier than a bee in an orange grove..
 I manage a good sized SW only shop too now and it takes up a big chunk o' time.. and I finally got settled in to a new place after hurricanes jeanne and francis took the last joint... building a new fishroom...trying to create a new website (now any flash and HTML 'gods' that'll work for frags? )...the good news is, I still don't have to shovel snow...  |
