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.
A Pygmy (Cherub) Angelfish grows to 3", and a Coral Beauty Angelfish grows to 4". Neither is a fish you would want to sentence to death by housing it with a Picasso or Snowflake. I'm not sure why Saltwaterfish . com states 35 gallon tanks as minimum for the Cherub and Eibli Angelfish, while nearly all others say 55 gallons. I suppose if it were the ONLY fish, 35 gallons would work. If your tank is boring, you can add several small colorful fish instead of one bigger fish. Bigger fish make bigger poop, so keep that in mind while choosing what to stock in a small tank. Even your 75 will become crowded with just a few fish once the Snowflake grows 2-3 feet long. You may be able to house a trigger in the 75 gallon tank, but it may not be too happy when it's grown. They become very aggressive in too small aquariums, especially with roommates.
Just because one site says one thing, always check around to see what others say. Remember, these sites have one goal... to sell you something. Oftentimes it's at the livestock's expense, and subsequently your expense. I will trust a site that gives a larger volume of water for a particular fish, rather than trust a site that gives a bare minimum. The honest sites don't want you to overstock your tank, and they want your fish to be happy. They do this so your fish don't die prematurely, and you will be a repeat customer. According to "most" sites, the smallest tank for a blue throat or pink tail trigger is 125 gallons. Most sites also say a Picasso or Niger require 180 gallons minimum. That said, you can believe whatever site you choose, and you can put as many fish as these guys will sell you in your tank. If it turns out that you have to constantly replace fish in either tank, you will soon realize that a tank can only sustain a certain capacity. It sometimes takes a few of us a little longer to realize this important detail. I should know...

They say that u can make it go loops and they teached me that if u show them one color before you feed them for some time, when they see it they will be more active because they think u are going to feed them
