How would YOU stock this 125g "trigger tank"?

[crazinezz978]

So i just got my tank setup and 4 weeks later, its cycled.

Heres what i have as of equipment.
-Amiracle wet/dry rated for 250g
-Berlin Turbo skimmer rated to 250g
-70 pounds of live rock

As of now, i want to have a Huma Huma Trigger, Clown trigger and a porcupine puffer indefinetely.

What other fish would be compatible with these fish in this size tank. Will the 3 fish i listed even be able to be in my tank?

Can i keep a yellow tang and blue hippo tang with these aggressive fish?

-Thanks, Dan.

How about an Angel like an Emperor?

Honestly, the clown trigger is likely to outgrow that tank and get quite aggressive with age. If you get one, plan for that.

Make sure you get a puffer that stays around a foot. Some species of porcs get truly huge, so know what you are buying. Another good choice is a dogface puffer, which will stay

I'm not sure about the clown trigger, but the tangs would be okay with the other two fish. I wouldn't add much more than this. Also, add fish gradually. Are you sure the tank is cycled after four weeks?

Watch nitrates, wet-dry filters can produce a lot, and I have found that puffers are sensitive to high nitrates. Consider getting rid of the biofilter media, and putting live rock in the filter sump.

I think it would be pretty cramped with just those. Clown triggers get pretty big and so do porcupine puffers.

The tangs are hit and miss - they can fend for themselves to a point, but a rampaging clown trigger is about as mean as a fish can get, and there is not much which can stop the destruction they are capable of if they get it in their head.

I love clown triggers, but I would be really cautious about putting them with anything due to their unpredictability. Some go years and never end up mean, but a lot go on murderous rampages with no notice at all. They are one of the most unpredictable fish when paired with others.

Depending on the other stuff you choose, Lunare wrasses or other related wrasses are tough, colorful, and active fish who can fend for themselves.

Unless you are dead set on the clown, I would consider a wrasse, a tang, or a largish angel to replace it.
