    Title says it all.

    Orange Shoulder Wrasse
    Yellow Tang
    Blue Spot Puffer
    Niger Trigger
    Dwarf Zebra Lionfish
    2-Talbot's Damsels

    I understand the damsels are potential lunch, but I have had them for about a year and am going to keep them and hope for the best.
    Is this a good stocking list for a 75 gallon FOWLR?

    100 Gal minimum for a Yellow Tang? I understand they need swimming space, but never heard 100 Gal minimum for a Yellow Tang.

    I am trying to come up with a replacement for the Trigger...can't think of another aggressive fish that I would want with all the other inhabitants.

    There are some people who put these in a tank your size but these fish like to swim and if the people selling them consider a 100 gallon tank minimum I would consider that a conservative estimate.(I would never do it)
    Heres a good place to research fish and there requirements.
