What Should My Next Fish Be?

Maybe Nigers are more common as they are pretty calm triggerfish. Are Humu's the same way?

Did you ever ask people what size they tank they had before selling them a fish at Petco? I've seen some employees hand out fish to total noobs : O

My purple dottyback (pseudochromis) beats the crap out of every reef safe wrasse I introduce in the tank. I was going to vote wrasse but I went with anthias. If you go wrasse I would go with something that could take a possible initial beating.

a long nose hawk might be a cool addtion. They are usally well tempered and full of personality. mine used to perch on top of snails on the glass watching my every move during feeding time.

I choose tangs but to reference my vote it will need to be either a yellow or a yellow eyed kole tang. IMO the only two that will go in a 75 gallon tank.

Thanks Mike. I've been wanting a Yellow Eye Kole for a while now. I just haven't found one that will eat frozen yet. They all hide and don't eat at all at the LFS. I don't want it to end up dead like my Blue Eye did.

I also plan to upgrade to a larger tank this coming summer. I'm going no less than a 180.

I always did. Especially with salt water. Right after Finding Nemo came out I remember a lady came in and wanted to put a clown and a hippo tang in a fish bowl. She didn't quite understand why I wouldn't sell the fish to her. Complained to my boss even. Stupid people.

Plenty of room for a trigger or 2:D

Looks like the Reef Safe Wrasse is the clear winner unless some more votes come in. I am negative a wrasse and have had one since the very beginning so I think I will opt for a wrasse. Plus, my brother is breaking down his tank and I'm taking his Anthia.
