Blue throat trigger tend to stay on the small side, and would probably be fine. You could probably get away with a kole or yellow tang as well. The other option would be a Huma, but I would leave him as the only fish in the tank, and he may eventually need a little bigger tank.

I second the blue throat. I have one in mine, nice trigger. They do get big though. Humu's are nice, but may need a bigger tank years down the road...
A small niger trigger would be a nice addition.

15"... Wow, how did you manage that? Our's only got about 10" after being in a 2200 gallon tank for 4 years. Are there some type of steroids that I am not aware of?

hahahaha, I don't think a 75 is a bad environment for a trigger, they adapt very well to aquarium life, with that said I would still suggest one of the smaller species, Blue throat, Starry, White tip...
good luck :joy:

I agree that they can get that big, but the only ones I have seen that large are straight from the ocean. The biggest I have seen them get being raised from a smaller size in an aquarium is around 10"... but that is just my personal experience. But I agree that a 75 will not house a clown trigger for a very long time. I have found that fish grow much slower when they are kept in a smaller tank however.
