    Wow Sherita, those Bellus angels are beautiful. I might have to try those guys someday. Very cool suggestion. Like those Agile chromis too.

    I wouldn't go with the hippo tang. 75gal isn't going to be enough... those guys get to be around 12"!

    I'd also add the flame angel last... put him in a separate tank for a day or so until the percs get established in your tank.

    Other fish to consider are Orchid dottyback, Bangai cardinals. Pairs of these will be nice in a 75 g tank

    I strongly disagree with BBQHILLBILLY. I am not sure from what he said if he ever keep Orchid Dottyback. Mor liekly just heard from the mean reputation of Dottyback in general.
    Orchid Dottyback are very docile, about the only dottyback that are very good community fish, even added first. They are tank bred these day because they are exclusive in the Red Sea in the wild and cost a fortune before they are tank raised. Very beautiful bright small dottyback.
    Make sure you get a Pseudochromis fridmani not a Pseudochromis porphyreus which is a little killer

    Orchid dottyback, or P. fridmani. Notice the color fins and the black strip through the eyes


    Avoid Strawberry dottyback or P. porphyreus. Notice the clear fins and no black strip on the eyes


    My banggai cardinal do not bother any other fish. I never heard of Banggai pick on other fish. Only males fight with each other.

    I would put stock in advices of whoever have keep Orchid Dottyback regarding whether or not Orchid dottyback are suitable for community tanks. Most everybody who keep a dottyback know that they are mean, except those who research and actually keep Orchid dottyback. Their temperament are not the same as usual dottyback. While Jeremy statement "those psuedochromis are so mean!" is actually true regarding usual dottyback, it is not true regarding Orchid dottyback.
