So I have a 100 gallon tank and right now I have 2 royal blue damsels. A porcupine puffer. A niger trigger. A maroon clownfish. And a black banded cat shark. I was wondering what other things I can put in there or ideas.

First off, the shark, the porcupine puffer and the niger need a new home. All 3 are too big for that size tank. The two damsels I would also consider rehoming as they are extremely aggressive and will harass most fish.

Once those are all out then you should consider putting more fish in

Obviously I can't get a manta ray. So go waste someone else's time. Thanks:)

The point was your tank is too small for what you already have in there. Unfortunately, RayL is correct.

That said, his joke was slightly uncalled for :)

+1 and if your LFS recommended these fish for your 100g tank I would suggest finding a different LFS.

I would recommend checking live aquaria's site to see what you may like and also check out there minimum tank size recommendations.

why cant you keep a manta ray ?

same reason as why you shouldn't be trying to put a shark in a 100 Gallon :)

Why is it obvious to you that you cant get a manta ray, but not obvious that that little shark is going to grow to almost the length of your tank? It's simple to do a google search and type in "(insert fish's name here) care". Or as stated, go onto LA/DD and look at minimum tank requirements.

There's a wealth of knowledge on this site. I cant tell you all that I have learned from being a member. So, get rid of the trigger, puffer and the shark, sit down, and do some reading.
