Or maybe a nice regal angelfish
Hi,
You shouldn't put a regular angelfish in a 75g tank...only a dwarf angel.

how about a trigger?6
Hi,
A 75g is a very tiny SW tank. The largest fish that should be in that tank is one that will grow as an adult, no larger then 3 to 4 inches.
An adult Picasso trigger will be about 12 inches. Most fish never reach the adult size, and folks do keep them in 75g tanks, but I really recommend to get a fish that can be kept in the tank all of it's life and anticipate the growth of the fish as an adult. IMO A 12 inch fish in a 75g tank is too crowded to be happy.

Let's just say the tangs are out of the picture, I really want 1 somewhat good sized fish.. What are my options? Is there any chance I can put in a niger trigger, or a blue throat?once again, the largest fish you should put in your tank is probably going to be a dwarf Angel and/or clowns. Have you seen a flame angel? They're beautiful! You CAN put a trigger in it for awhile, but eventually it's going to grow up and need more space. You will also be limited to fewer fish that are compatible with it, and inverts can pretty much be eliminated from consideration. Make sure you always check recommended tank sizes when considering any and all fish.

I'm curious as to why a "good sized" fish is preferred?
An adult dwarf angelfish is stunning and very active. The only problem with dwarf angels is that we can keep only one in the tank because they fight, which is a bummer because they are so beautiful! A 4" angelfish appears quite large in a 75g... an added plus is that they nip at the rocks all day for algae, hair algae won't have a chance because any found will quickly be eaten up.

I'm starting to think he's just trying to mess with everyone's heads because he hasn't listened to anything anyone's said to him.

How about a regular angelfish and it dwarf angelfish. Would the outcome be the same?
I can't have ANY full size angel in my 125 gallon tank, and you keep asking about putting one in a 75 gallon tank. It's been said numerous times... DWARF angel. You can waste your money and buy two dwarfs, but when the sand settles, you'll most likely end up with one. Angels don't play nice together. Most site's descriptions specify having only one angelfish per tank. You can ignore the warnings and put two in your nano tank, but the chances of them getting along are extremely thin. I've tried on a couple of occasions to have two dwarf angels in my tank, and it hasn't worked out. I ignored the warnings, thinking 125 gallons is plenty big enough for two dwarfs. I ended up with two dead angels. Just because you see two or three not fighting in the tank at the LFS, it's only because they haven't been there long enough to establish their territory. I can assure you, one dwarf angelfish will claim your entire tank as it's territory. It will allow other species to share it's space, but will NOT tolerate another angel. Period. I previously suggested a dwarf angel and clownfish. If you want larger fish, these are the one's for your tank. You can have more than one clownfish, if you like. The best advice I can give you at this point is this: if you want bigger fish... get a bigger tank.

LOL...here is a picture to copy and have on hand for these moments
If Silverado is right, this picture of a nasty troll may be more appropriate.
