    I'm wanting these fish in 75 gallon, with a 30 gallon sump (105 gallons total)

    Any objections? Most of these are in a 150 gallon tank I manage and they do fine, but of course less space = more problems.

    Also, please state if the fish would have enough room if younger.

    Scooter Dragon
    Fox Face Lo
    Lionfish
    Snowflake eel
    Diamond Goby
    Emperor Angelfish (Or French Angelfish) - Or maybe a Flame Angelfish? One of those 3.
    Trigger

    What do you all think? I think the Angel fish and Trigger might conflict. Can I keep multiple Triggers in a tank?

    IMO no triggerfish and the two large angelfish won't work. Nor will the Diamond goby. If the Scooter Dragon is a dragonette don't get that one either.

    Is this a fish only system? I would say a definite no to the emperor angel. They need a huge tank.

    If you want coral then cross out the triggers and it's a coin toss with the flame.

    Other than that seems okay.

    Its a FOWLR. Dont plan for coral anytime soon. Ill keep the emperor angel out. Why not the diamond goby and scooter? Both in the 150 do fine. The goby cold eat him with his mouth half closed! The eel likes to stare at him alot though, he frequent swings infront of the eel but the eel has never bitten, although he is well fed!

    Lionfish
    Snowflake eel
    Diamond Goby
    Flame Angel
    Dog-Face Puffer
    Niger Trigger
    Piccasso Trigger

    That's what I'm thinking now.

    The pufferfish might work, don't know much about them. The triggerfish will get to large and active, the goby is too peaceful and only feeds on organisms in the sand.
    HTH;D

    in a the triggers will kill the lionfish. the lionfish will eat the gopy. also that is to many large/huge fish for a 75 g display. its not only water volume you need to consider. you must also consider swimming room.
