Hey guys LFS is having a 50% off sale this weekend on Marine fish and its time for me to add to my 90gal. I currently have 4 Clowns and 1 Foxface. Tank has been setup for over a year now and doin well thankfully. In the end I'd like to have a Hippo Tang, Flame angel(or Emperior angel) and some type of trigger. I was thinking Clown trigger till I saw the Blue throat they have. I was told he's far less aggressive? Is this true? Is a Blue throat the least aggressive of all Triggers? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

IMO/recomendation, I wouldn't put a hippo tang in a 90, they get up to 1' in length, as in 1/4 the length of a 90L, and IMO that isnt enough room for the hippo to swim, being an active fish, I would recomend minimum of 150gal or 8' tank. But thats just me, I like my fish to have room to swim.

Didn't even notice the emperor angel, though they aren't as active, but as snyder810 said, they do get bigger... up to 1'3" I believe.

They are very small to begin with, as I know I'm not able to keep them in there forever. I'm workin on a 330gal. Hopefully it'll be ready in a year.

Well, just remember even though you are "working on" a 330, they do grow, and if you cant make their home big enough (will take more then a year if you get them as juvies) you should find them a new home untill you can house them comfortably.

They'd be sold back to LFS when needed as I have in the past. Any suuggestions on the Trigger??

I wouldnt do the clown because of size limitations...but if you plan on just swapping them out with the LFS...go crazy. All of that stuff together however would be seriously over stocked.
