I want to get the following fish for my tank. Currently I only have live rock and live sand in my tank.
Golden Hamlet
Parrotfish Princess
Emperor Angelfish Juv.
Crosshatch Trigger Juv. OR Humu Humu Trigger Juv.
How are these fish together? How aggressive will these fish get? Which trigger would be best with the others? Also does anyone have more info on the Golden Hamlet and Crosshatch Trigger? Thanks

I have 2 Tanks My 90 is a reef. No aggressive fish in there. My new tank just got started 2 weeks ago but need to start thinking about a stocking list for when it is done cycling.

Sorry. It is a 150. I know some people would say this tank is way to small but I will be starting with verry small Juv. fish.

parrot fish are awesom, unfortunately they often do not fare well in aquariums due to their specialized dietary needs, and the large size they will attain, you may want to substitute it with a wrasse of some sort (sunset, green bird) the sunset has similar coloring, and will be much easier to care for.

The sunset wrasse looks very nice. I am just worried that the other fish might be to aggressive with it. All the other fish I want are aggressive, but the sunset wrasse is moderate. Will there be a problem? Also how will a trigger do when feeding? I know they get get very aggressive when feeding. Will the other fish get food? Thanks for the info on the parrot fish.

Personally I like your stock list, with the substitution of a bird wrasse for the parrot. A cross hatch and huma huma are pretty comparable triggers, as far as aggression goes. I think either one should work ok as long as they are juvis as stated in your original post and added as one of the last fish. JMO but I'd also add an eel to this list... maybe a snowflake or jeweled moray. However, I believe that any true aggressive tank should have an eel.

Thanks crimzy. I am not sure if I am going to get an eel because I know they dig up the sand under the rock. I had a snowflake eel in a 90 gallon and it dug under the rocks and the rocks fell. I was going to add all the fish at once but it does sound better if I add the Trigger last. All my fish will be juvis, just because I want to keep them in my tanka s long as I can, plus the angelfish I am looking foward to see changing colors.
