Yellow Tang question

[aquarius]

Would I be able to put a yellow tang in with a coral beauty, niger trigger, and a pair of clowns? I know that they're an agressive species but I really like the color and activity of the fish.

Not in a 40 gallon tank...Those would need at least a 75-90...And the trigger would probably make a snack out of the clowns...

I think you are about maxed out in your tank. You're trigger will eventually outgrow it too.

I think you can get away with a small Niger trigger but you have to be careful when it gets larger. I had a 5" Niger trigger with some clarkii's and it never bothered them. But you know each fish might have a little different temperment. Perc's might be a different story since they are smaller/ less aggressive. I agree that you need a bigger tank, almost double if you want to get away with your list of fish to make them comfortable.
