Stocking 75g

Hey guys i was wondering what else you all would recommend me adding to my 75g, currently i have a pair of true percs, and a snowflake moray. What would you all do?

I am not guaranteeing this scenario, but that snowflake may at some point make a meal of any small (ie true percs) fish in your tank. You could try a sharp-nosed puffer (toby), a flame angel or young navarchus angel (if you want to upgrade your tank in a few years), or a freckled hawkfish. Once you have some experience (six months to a year) you could add a butterfly.

Have fun!

The snowflake leaves everything alone including the peppermint shrimps and the cleaner shrimp. What about a blue throat trigger?

firefish

various wrasse such as carpenters, filimented, etc

chromis

flame or coral beauty angel - either one could nip corals, but tend not to if fed well

various hawkfish. flamehawk is awesome, but any of them will eat shrimp

pretty much any goby

jawfish if you have a fairly deep sandbed

most blennies

assessors

etc...........get a book like Marine Fishes by Scott W. Michael. It will tell you about the various fish and if they are reef compatible or not

Any fish could be a potential meal for that eel, they could live together for a year and then one day it might just go wild on them.

Yeah thats why i was thinking about keeping a more aggresive style reef, thats where the bluethroat trigger came into mind. I thought a bluethroat would be fine in a 75 gallon, will they really outgrow the tank that quickly?

I was also thinking about the sixline wrasse.
