Hi,
Thanks for checking this thread!!!

I've 210G FOWLR tank which is 6 months old.
current tank mates story:
1. Big Adult humu picasso trigger (7inch long)
1. Emperor angel adult (medium sized)
3. Yellow tail damsels.
All are doing good, i find emperor to be very aggressive sometimes. Trigger seems to be not bothered at all.

can you guys pls suggest from ur experience what are the best tank mates? My plan is
1. Yellow tang
1. Regal/hippo tang
2. 3stripe damsels
1. Six line wrasse??
1. Annularis/blue ring angel fish??
1. Clown fish?? (without anemone-whats the best clown)
No butterfly fish as they are slow swimmers.

any other family i can go with? Chromis or anthias(have read they are very peaceful not good for aggressive tank with trigger).

Thanks in advance.
cheers fish lovers!

Don't take this the wrong way but I bet the reason your Angel is aggressive is the lack of space. They need a huge tank IMO. It's a matter of time with the Trigger. IMO, the only reason he is calm now is the Emperor is keeping him in check. For as adding fish, I think you will have a hard time adding newcomers with that Emperor in their. That's why it's recommended to last most Angelfish and Tangs last to the tank.
