Need some advice.

[rlf_racing]

I am changing my FOWLR community tank to a some what aggresive tank. And this is what I have at the moment.
7 blue green chromis
2 ocellaris clownfish
2 clarkii clownfish
1 peacock mantis shrimp
1 sergeant major damsel
1 lemon damsel
1 tear drop maroon clown
1 blue hippo tang
2 diamond goby
This is what I would like to have in the tank after.
1 tear drop maroon clown
1 blue hippo tang
2 diamond goby
1 maroon clown 4-5”
1 porcupine puffer 4-6”
1 pink tail trigger fish
1 niger trigger fish
Would these fish get along together in my 75 gal tank? Or is there a better combination? Also I would like to keep the maroon clowns for my daughter.
Thank you for the help in advance.

Anybody? And what order of intro to the tank. Since I already have 1 gsm and 1 blue tang.

You might run into trouble with the niger and pinktail both in that tank.

Ultimately, either of those (as well as the hippo) would do better in a larger tank as they get bigger.

The puffer and both triggers will out grow your tank in no time. Probably introducing them all to a small tank would just be a bad idea, aggression and too much bioload. Also the hippo will get big to, and the clowns, the bioload would be crazy high in that tank.

You have a peacock mantis with all those fish?

I agree with the others, that is a lot of fish for a 75 given their adult sizes. Do you plan on just keeping those fish until they get too big for your tank? Upgrade in the future?

Your overstocked as it is. A Mantis with your fish? A blue hippo needs a much larger tank. All four of your clowns get along?

Like I said the mantis is sectioned off from the other fish. There is only the lemon, seargent, and the maroon clown. He is a timid little guy. And I am in the process of trying to find a new home. Yes all four clowns are getting along, but I will be taking most of the fish to a lfs in on trade. Well what fish Could I get for this tank? How long would it be for the hippo tang to out grow my tank? I don't know how soon it will be for me to upgrade to a larger tank. So what other aggressive fish that I could have for this 75 gal FOWLR setup?

More seriously,
The for the most part clowns don't get along with different types of clowns. So if your 4 clowns aren't cause a war then don't mess with em and don't change anything like adding another different clown. Two of the same type will get along as long as they aren't female. And have a significant size difference.
Don't go with a hippo tang in your tank, they will get huge within a year. OMHO I wouldn't do any tang in a 75 gallon, except maybe a yellow tang. As for triggers, both listed also get 12 to 14 inches in length. And that coupled with their aggressive nature is asking for trouble. Kind of like expecting little brothers in the back seat, to not fight while driving across texas. I'm not aware of any reason not to have the diamond gobies.
And the porky would be ok to squeeze into a 75 gallon.
Personally I like damsels, the downside is they get UGLY when they mature.

Dwarf Lionfish, Angler's, Toby Puffers, Toad fish. How about smaller aggressive's?

Yes I know my tank is a little over stocked at the moment. That will change within a week or so. The only two fish that are in the tank at the moment that I want to keep out of all of them is the maroon and the hippo. I understand that the hippo will eventually outgrow my tank. I have had here for four months now and she has only grew about an inch.

 

[rlf_racing]

So what does everyone think of this list?
2 maroon clowns ( max size around 7")
1 hippo tang ( know it will outgrow in time)
1 tabacco bass (max around 7")
Maybe a toadfish or an angler fish when the rest of the fish get larger.
Also just wondering if there were any other puffers that could work with this tank beside the porky ( which will get to big) and the tobies?

 

[rlf_racing]

I would like to be able to keep about six to maybe seven fish in this tank if possible. Also what about a dwarf angel with what i mentioned above.

 

[stdreb27]

yeah, a dwarf angel is fine.

 

[rlf_racing]

So what are the opinions about the above list?
