I have no pics lol and worse no camera so dont ask lol i will post soon i love this hobby and new to it though...
Ok heres what I have in my tank its is a 100gal
Porcupine puffer
stars and strips puffer
Niger Trigger
Clown Trigger
Snow Flake Eel
Yellow Headed Eel
There is NO aggression what so ever in my tank. I dont have to much rock enough for my eels to hide and my triggers to sleep under. Both my triggers sleep together some times with my eels (kinda weird to me but ok) Feeding is easy I have it down to feed them all seperatly so there is no aggression during feeding. My clown is smaller so he is shy to the other fish and kind of hides behind my Niger. The question is any good ideas for another fish to my tank. I was thinking of a nice size blue tang. O also I have 10 Damsels but I think I will have at least 5 when I wake up :)

I agree...IMO it is just a matter of time for this to fail. How long have you had this combination of fish?
Just give it time, and I think you will see problems. :(
I would definitely NOT add something like a tang which stresses easily, leading to disease, leading to the increased probability of losing several of your fish.

Maybe you could add more rock and rearrange you aquascaping. Give your tank a whole new look without adding a fish. I also bought some dead coral and my niger is always in it lounging about.

your list:
Porcupine puffer
stars and strips puffer
Niger Trigger
Clown Trigger
Snow Flake Eel
Yellow Headed Eel
im sorry to say yes you have too many large species of fish in this tank and the combination of species is a desaster waiting to happen IME
puffers grow very quickly to start off with but should not be housed with other puffers if they are they should be in a very large system and even that is risky with some species.
as for your triggers they are very territorial species and do not share space well with other like species or other species for that matter they can and most likely will torment your puffers(puffers do not compete well for foods (if feeding becomes to stressful for puffers they will stop eating)
now your eels per say are ok with puffers but not safe with triggers trigger are well known for nipping at eels while they sleep and digging into the small crevises that eels dwell in making eels unsafe.
i highly suggest doing some research on your stock list and maybe do some some readjusting to make the fishes enviroment much more suitable

Actually, I'd be more concerned for the triggers with a fimbriated scouring the tank. I'll just end it at that.
