    How would small angels do with puffer and 2 triggers? what type of tang do you think would work the best? i just need some options for other fish i could put with them.

    You can keep tangs with triggers , without any problem... adding the tangs all together (as adding tangs slowly will make too hard to handle their own agressiveness..., choose fast and bold species as clown tang, hippo , sailfin, yellow etc) ... and add triggers of different sizes , and make some rock re-arrangements to create some kind of shelter to them... your tank space would be fine for some species as , clown , picasso, blue jaw....
    Also remember that tangs and triggers feed in a more aggressive way but generally speaking they should be fine .... this is just my experience...
    Hope this info helps!

    Hey ya'
    The Triggers will be fine withthe Puffer.... when it comes to the Tangs... I already recommended some but all would work ( depending how they are intruduced) and I think the Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa) or the Flame Angel (both darwfs) would be compatible.
    Snowflake Eel (Echidna nebulosa) should be fine. Just research the food requirements of each fish. But I think with that combination you will have a lot of fun :)

    ya mostly predators is more interesting to me than coral and some more docile fish =].
    So you think that would work with the angels?

    Yes... but that is just my experience and my opinion. I would introduce the Tangs first... always advisable to add the more aggressive fish first since the Tang will have already adjusted to his new environment.

    To your first question: Any order for the tangs... If your tank is mature enough I would add two at once since that way they don't get aggressive towards each other.
    Second question: The clown trigger is definitely ok with the 120g. I had one before and they are beautiful and very fun fish!
    Make sure that your tank has finished the cycle (maybe about 2 months after adding the LR and water ... also I would recommend to use RO water, not tap water....)
    Then only one fish each 3 weeks... just to be on the safe side.
    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
    Best of luck to you!!!!
