Would these fish be safe together?

Hi, I'm really new to the saltwater aquarium hobby, so I was wondering if you could tell me if these fish would be safe together:
Achilles Tang
Niger Triggerfish
Greenbird Wrasse
Porcupine Puffer
Longnose Hawkfish
Green Mandarin Dragonet
Blackcap Basslet
I read that the Niger Triggerfish is supposedly one of the least aggressive triggerfish, so most of these fish have "moderate" tempers, a few have "peaceful". Also, would I be able to put these 7 fish in a 75 gallon tank (non-reef)? Thanks in advance.

Don't make the same mistake that me and everyone else did when they first bought their tank. Add the wrong fish. What you should do is buy some green chormises of damsels. To let your tank cycle (become established) . Beware though, damsels are really mean fish so I would just go with chromises. And also the fish you want are really hard to keep like the Achilles Tang and Green Mandarin Dragonet. And some of the most aggressive like the Niger Triggerfish,Greenbird Wrasse,Porcupine Puffer,Longnose Hawkfish. I would wait about 7-8 to put any of these fish in.

Unfortunately, the first four fish, in your list, are not suitable for a 75gal. tank.

Just my opinio, that's way too many fish for just a 75 gal tank. Yes, I agree, those first 4 need a bigger tank. Good luck!

Yes, as everyone else said, the first four will not make it in a 75, and the mandarin needs a tank that has been set-up a year to 2 years.
