setting up my 75 gallon tank

[DeepB23]

I'm setting up a 75 gallon saltwater fish only with live rock and I've got a stocking idea so far.

I've got a yellow tang, niger trigger, and humu humu trigger on the list, and I'm thinking of adding a snowflake eel too.

Any other suggestions would be great, I want to add a few more fish to the tank.

cross out the eel, seems like a pretty standard mix, what about a foxface or a powder blue tang, would look sick with the yellow tang

post some ideas

Cross out the humu humu trigger. I'm thinking coflake beauty angels are pretty cool, they could work well. Maybe even an emperor angel, they're pretty awesome too.

Trigger fish can be super aggressive and aren't picky eaters, they'll take down just about anything. If you're planning on having a reef in your tank, triggers are a bad idea - they'll eat all your reef life. There's one breed that's supposed to be reef-safe, but I'm having a brain fart and can't remember the name.

An emperor angelfish in a 75 gallon, really? I'm considering one too, but I'm not sure if it's the best fit. No reef for me either, so that's not a concern. I've also got my eye on crowned toby puffers and warthead anglers - they seem like great additions.

My local fish store, That Pet Place, has a huge selection and they say Niger and Picasso triggers can be kept together peacefully. They've got them in the same tank and it seems to be working out.

Yeah, an emperor can thrive in a 75 gallon, just keep the water quality top-notch. Niger triggers are indeed one of the more chill ones, and as juveniles, they can coexist peacefully. However, as they mature, they'll likely become more aggressive - just like the Picasso trigger.
