1 yellow tail damzel
1 cleaner wrass
1 snowflake eel
1 hermet crab
2 turbo snails
and
1 bristle starfish

and i plan on adding another fish wich will be coral beauty or a pair of clowns (both if posible). wich typ of clown, i dont know yet and thats wher you guys come in. it would be helpfull if you guys can give me your opinion.

also i am getting a 65 gallon fowlr ( earlyer i made a post about a 40 breeder and a 55 but i desited to go with a 65) i want a trigger really bad and that is what i want to go in ther. i know a lot of people do niger triggers in ther but i perfer the huma piccaso trigger, i dont care if he is in ther alone i gust want the fish. if i am doing something wrong (because i feel as if i am) please post. thank you.

The eel will eventually eat your clowns and damsel.

could he go in my next tank then if i do a trigger?

 

[jay0705]

Generally yes

 

[trigger40]

ok good. so once the eel is out of the 40 and in the 65 with the piccaso, can i put a dwarf angle and a pair of clowns in ther?

The hummu trigger can almost always go with other triggers so if u want get a nigeri would reccomend a tang too

 

[jay0705]

Any small fish u put w a tigger will be food. Ie most clowns, ect. Now that said they can even kill larger fish. I like triggers , there just not always easily mixed w other fish

 

[zoidberg01]

Its true what jay says I strongly recommend large damsels if u want other fish with the trigger

 

[trigger40]

i think i am gona do piccaso becuse they are smaller then the niger trigger.

 

[zoidberg01]

They are pretty much the same, when u are gonna buy him in a lfs put your hand in the glass or put ur finger in the water if he goes directly at ur finger that means that he is really aggressive and always hungry for live foods or anything. P.s. make sure u don't get bitten

 

[zoidberg01]

Also the Picasso trigger will eat ur cuc

 

[trigger40]

i was just at my favoret lfs. im gona buy a real small one so i can rase him and im gona by 75 insted of a 65 because ther is almost no prise differens and i like it better because it is longer. will the stocking be the same though? and what would be a good tank mate for him besids the eel. i allready picked one out they got him on hold for me, he will swim directly to my hand and sence he was so little i let him bite me it was awsome.

 

[zoidberg01]

I bet u are going to have a great time with him since they grow slowly

 

[trigger40]

lol. thats the idea!

 

[zoidberg01]

Just be careful if it bites

 

[trigger40]

do you think it would be ok if i just got him now. i know my 75 is not set up yet but the tank my lfs is keeping him in is the same size as the one i have set up now except my tank has live rock, sand and tank mates. he is only about an inch and a half and,
i want it

 

[zoidberg01]

U can put him in ur other tank till u upgrade but u have to get rid of ur invertebrates

 

[trigger40]

i think im gona go get him now, i haft to qt him anyway.

You mentioned getting a coral beauty angelfish. While some sites specify 30+ gallon tanks for this fish, most sites will specify 55-75 gallon minimums. While it's a fairly small fish, it does best in a larger aquarium where it has plenty of room to swim and lots of live rock where it can graze on algae. I had one in a small tank with a clownfish while waiting for my 125 to cycle, and the clown tormented it continuously. Once in the bigger tank, they got along much better. Crowded spaces lead to aggression. Take my workplace for instance... lol! Just kidding, but it can cause problems if a tank is over-populated as territories become scarce. Fish are like people, and people need their space...

i am well aware of the agression it may cause but my tank looks way to empty and its quite boring. maybe a pygme angle insted of a dwarf angle? or the dwarf could be a good tank mate for the piccaso and the eel in the 75 i am getting.
