    Have a 75 gallon going now.

    My wife is basically picking the fish. And she is picking based on what looks good.

    She thinks these look good, but is there any chance they will go together?

    Fish:
    Flame Angel
    Huma Trigger
    Foxface
    Blue Velvet Damsel
    Maroon Clown

    Other:
    Pink Pincushion
    Lettuce Nudibranch
    Brittle Starfish
    Condylactis

    i think that would be fine if that was all thats in the tank fish wise. the trigger may nip at fins so just watch it.

    That should be fine. Don't ad in anything else though. An aggressive tank would be cool. As long as that's planned. lol.

    I wasnt sure if the trigger would pick on the angel/foxface/clown

    Sizes would be:
    Foxface - biggest
    Angel - 2nd in tank
    Trigger/Clown about the same size
    Damsel the smallest (arent these pretty territorial?)

    That would work right? The least aggressive be the biggest in the tank flowing down to the most aggressive which will be the smallest?

    Thanks, I thought they stayed about the same size. By the time they are full size I am hoping I will have upgraded tanks. I really didn't want all those fish to be full size in a 75 gallon tank.

    I'd advise against this sort of thinking as it is not "well planned". I point it out because it looks to me you are trying to plan well. Which is cool. Get fish for what you have, not what you want. You can always get the bigger fish after you upgrade.

    would they be able to survive full grown in a 75 or will those 5 fish get way too big for it? Everywhere I have read a trigger I guess needs a lot of room
