1 show sized red volitan lion, or 1 nurse shark.

The volitans will not go after damsels as long as you groom their dorsal fins by hand.

Niger Trigger to tone down all those bright colors.

Panther grouper would be my choice. They are really pretty when they grow up!

I'd personally go with a barracuda, make it a juvenile.

Mike I think what we are trying to say is..........sounds like you have enough fish in there already. Do some corals.

Tank is packed with fish especially with 5 damsels. You will have the piscine equivalent of world war II when they get a little bigger. Personally I would not add any more fish to that tank without removing a few.

For reference in a 75 I have:

- 1 Harlequin Tusk fish 6"

- 1 Vtail grouper 4"


And I would consider maybe adding one more fish.

Piscine is word used relating to fish. I'm not sure of the exact defin., but like a piscine odor, piscine remains, and so on.

Get a 2nd maroon Clown, that is between 2 and 2.5 inches and get a rid of the damsels.

Good advice Kaiser!
Mike, you'll like the clowns much better than all those damsels anyway.
