Community Tank For A Picasso Trigger

[trighappy]

With the help of some of the members of this forum, I have composed a list of what I think might be compatible tankmates for the Picasso Trigger that I plan on introducing once my tank finishes cycling. Some notes, I have a 75 gallon setup with a Pro-Clear Aquatic Wet/Dry filter as well as an in sump protein skimmer. The list I have composed is as follows in their planned order of introduction to the tank. I look forward to any feedback from you, the aggressive community since you all have probably had these species and know more about them then me. I am basing my compatability on the rankings that these fish recieve i.e. docile, semi aggressive, etc.
Maroon ClownFish
Spiny Box Puffer
Flame HawkFish
Klunzinger's Wrasse
Picasso Trigger
So what do you think? Any others that you might recommend? I plan on starting all fish small, in the 2 inch range so How do you feel about the tank? Is this setup overstocked or is their room to add one or two more?

Everything Is Fine Except The Clownfish .i Like The Other Fish.i Think Instead Of The Clownfish Get A Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish.you Can At Least Get 1 More Fish ,depending On Size Maybe 2 More. The Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish Eats Live Feeders,but You Can Get It Eating Jumbo Shrimp.

The list sounds fine to me. Get the maroon clown. A fuzzy dwarf will not live with a picasso trigger.
Just for the record, lionfish should not be offered live feeders. Ghost shrimp may be used to wean them over to frozen, but that is it. Goldfish, guppies, rosies, and the like are terrible food choices for lionfish because they will cause a lionfish to have fatty liver degeneration.

would a panther grouper be an option, i always wanted one when I had aggressive, but never found one locally before changing to serene?

 

[lion_crazz]

What size tank would the panther be going into?

I have a 72 bowfront, but am converting to a reef. I am sure I will buy a second tank, because I have become addicted to this hobby! There are just soooo many beautiful fish, and unfortuantely they don't all get along.

Well, when you get a second tank for fish, get something considerably large, at least a 125, preferably a 180. Most fish need this to grow out into. A panther grouper gets 18" and easily needs a 180.
Just something to keep in mind.
