Tankmates for a Picasso Trigger

[suntzu]

Hey Guys,

I am about to stock my 75G FOWLR setup. I am going to pickup a four inch Picasso Trigger from 1UCKY since I have been eyeing that fish for a while. I have research suitable tankmates but I just want to guage the opinion of those who have had experienc with this particular fish on MR. I don't particually like the Lionfish or Eel. So those are out. How would a Yellow Tang and Coral Beauty fair? What other fish should I look at and at what size?

Thanks!

Here's a picture of the future home of the Picasso Trigger.

That's an aggressive fish so stay with perhaps a puffer,Maybe a yellow tang but a good sized one.

How big is your tank? That will help people give you advice.

My tank is 75G. It is listed in my initial post.

Thanks!

nice looking set up...but gd luck keeping that nice looking aquascaping in place once the picasso trigger has his way. They like to decorate.....

That's the thing I don't understand. I read about it the Picasso Trigger liking to redecorate the aquascaping, but how is able to move the rocks around? Does the Picasso just shift the sand around?

I've only owned one trigger in my few years in this hobby that was able to pick up 5 LB rocks like they were feathers and this was a huge 8-10" Pink Tail Trigger that I recently sold. Don't get me wrong, this little Picasso does pick up rocks, but they are little rubble pieces.

That's perfect. All my pieice are pretty big so it shouldn't be a problem. If it does become a problem, I will just move the smaller pieces to my 20G. Thanks.

i have a humu humu in my 75 with a regal, yellow tang, maroon clown, foxface and diamond goby (i know overstocked). he has no problems with them now, hes also about 4". i think the problem is when they get bigger they get very aggressive. maybe a puffer and tang would make a nice tank. i like the aquascaping, the tank looks very clean...i wonder how long it will look that clean...:biggrin:
