Thoughts on this fish list

Hi, thought I would get some oppinions on this list for my 75gal reef.

Lawn mower blenny
Bi-color pseudo
Coral beauty
Six line
Blue jaw trigger

Any thoughts would be helpful

Curently in the tank, Blenny, Pseudo, and Coral Beauty all happy.
 
Bi-color pseudochromis can be very aggressive and will become territorial as it gets older/larger. 6 line wrasses are notorious for becoming a major PIA. They can be very aggressive and territorial. Adding one withe bi-color is taking a chance, but since the rest of the fish are somewhat aggressive (excluding the blennie) it may work. I wouldn't do it though.
 
It's funny, My blenny is the most aggressive fish in the tank. He chases the bi-color which is full grown. The coral beauty and the bi-color hang together. It's strange.

I was more concerned over the blue jaw trigger and the coral beauty combo.

any thoughts on this?
 
There is a good chance the pseudo will give the six line a very hard time but you never know. A 75 gallon is too small for any trigger long term. lawnmowers can become very aggressive as they get full size, I had one terrorize my 180 until I got him out.
 
At least I'm not the only one that has an aggressive blenny (he's about 4inches tip to tip) almost full grown I guess. The LFS thinks I'm crazy when I say my lawnmower is aggressive.

as for the trigger, I'm aware of the size constraints. I'm thinking that a baby, 2inches, will be fine until I upgrade, or am I wrong on this?
 
good luck finding a healthy 2" b.t......even if you do you wont be able to tell sex, which means it may be a female with colors much less desireable than a male.
They usually appear in our hobby at 3"-4".
 
Wow! I did not know that I might be buying a female. I new that the babies looked different, but I didn't know that you couldn't tell them appart until they were bigger.

Thanks for that info.
