hey sharkguy
first of all what size tank filtration etc. also i want to point out that that triggers are messy eaters and with ich magnets like tangs your most likely going to run into problems due to less than perfect water conditions. My only other concern is the 2 tangs they might not work especailly ina small tank im looking this up now and will get back to you.

thanks for the fast reply!
I have a 110 gallon FOWLR wet/dry with a big in sump protein skimmer. I was also thinking of adding some type of angel also.

Your over your stocking limits witht he angel plus there just as bad if not worse than the tangs when it comes to the need for perfect water conditions. You might want to ditch the trigger if you want those sensitive fish. Maybe someone else will have some stocking suggestions

Here's an idea- purple tang, harlequin tusk, pinktail/ blue jaw trigger, and maybe a sowflake eel.
A picasso would be pretty mean to the tang. Purple tangs are pretty hardy as far tangs go. Also they are pretty aggressive so they can hold their own. Generally tangs aren't that good in aggressive tanks, but 110 is pretty good sized for 3 good sized fish.

I have a 100G FO tank, with a picasso trigger. I have had him for 2 1/2 years. This is the least aggressive fish I have in the tank, he never bothers anybody; even newcomers. He is about 2", so he is not a big size, by any means. I think if you get a small picasso and add him last, you will be fine. I really believe with triggers, it is the luck of the draw; one might be extremely aggressive the next might be a wimp! Bottom line, if you really want the picasso, it is worth a try. BTW,I have had triggers with angels, and triggers with tangs, and if you are commited to frequest water changes, and have good filtration (that is a must) they will be fine.
