stocking recommendations

I currently have a 5" ornate wrasse in a 55 gallon fish only tank. I was thinking of adding a small puffer like a valentini or Hawaiian puffer and a niger trigger. Your recommendations/suggestions are very appreciated. Thank you!

Based on your avatar, I'm assuming that by "ornate wrasse", you have Halichoeres ornatissimus and not Thalassoma pavo. Do make sure that the wrasse has enuff substrate to dive into in the evening.
A 55 gallon is pretty tight for any trigger, but for similar fish, you might want to look into some of the smaller filefish species.
A toby should be fine .

I agree with saxman a 55 gallon is pretty tight for a niger trigger, It depends on the size your getting i have one that is about a inch and a half long, My tangs and my juvenile Koran are getting pretty big so im planning to upgrade to a 150 gallon soon. If you want a trigger start small and when it grows hopefully you can upgrade.
1 Juvenile Koran Angelfish
1 Yellow Tang
1 Blue Hippo Tang
1 Yellow Striped Maroon Clown
1 Niger Trigger Fish
1 Royal Gramma
1 Blue Damselfish
1 Blue Yellow Tailed Damselfish
1 Green Chromis
1 Fire Shrimp
10 Snails
15 Hermit Crabs
2 Large Hermit Crabs

are you planing on any type of invert or coral in the future i see you said fish only but....you will get the itch.because the puffer will tear them to shreds
