Hey guys, I stumbled upon this site when I was looking up information on my fish. seems like a cool site...

I am an owner of a 75 gallon saltwater. Got bored of freshwater so I ventured into saltwater about a year ago. I am into aggressive fish. My first fish was an 4-5 inch Undulated Trigger. She ended up being my ONLY fish because I couldn't find any tank mates. She once ate a 11" small mouth bass I caught in a matter of hours. I ended up moving and had no way to transport the water so I donated her back to the pet store.

I have just recently started adding fish to my tank again after letting my water cycle for 2 months with the same gravel and 40-50 pounds of live rock.

I currently have a dog faced puffer along with a harlequin sweetlips. They are best buds it's weird. I have plenty of caves and they always seem to hang out in the same one together. They swim together, and are always touching/ making contact with each other. It's crazy seeing how aggressive the puffer can be, then treating the sweetlips as if were a sibling.

Tonight I added a Bursa Trigger. He quickly dubbed himself King of the tank.

I would like to add a lion fish to the mix. We'll see.

anyone know of any other tank mates that would be compatible with the fish I've listed?

Look forward to getting involved in conversation on this site.
 
First off, welcome..... glad to have you here. You'll find everyone is more than helpful.
I will offer what I can here. With a 75g, I wouldn't go with a lion with what you already have. I think you will quickly run out of comfort room. As for the dog faced puffer and harlequin sweetlips being buddies, I am sure that will not last as long as you'd like. I see an aggression issue coming eventually. Beaky = winner. What fish sizes are we talking here?
