Don't get a clown trigger. They get to big. And if you get a chromis try 3 or more. They look good in schools and will school. If yo uwant a trigger try a niger. Or ditch the trigger for more chromis. You have a good list.

its going to be FOWLRLS. i was thinking about not getting a trigger, they just seem like cool fish. i like the idea of 3 chromis. so, you all think its gonna be really crowded, well, i will wait until i get my tank set up, and i will slowly add fish, and that will determine everything. also do you think 2 150 watt heaters would be good?
