    Fish Recommendations?

    Hi - I'm getting ready to add a couple of fish to my aquarium and thought I'd get some input from the helpful folks on this board. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I have a 75 gallon FOWLR set up. It has been going since the first week of January. Currently I have:

    2 cleaner shrimp
    1 sea urchin
    1 clownfish
    1 royal gramma
    1 pyschedelic mandarinfish (I learned too late that I shouldn't have added this fish, I have purchased copepods so hopefully he'll do alright)
    1 serpent star

    I would like to get a trigger fish (humu humu) but don't know whether he would eat my shrimp. Any other thoughts on some interested / attractive fish for this setup?

    Thanks!

    Hey!

    I am not to sure about the trigger fish. I thought they where aggressive. Don't quote me on that though... You can check the online resources thread. You should be able to find some helpful info there......

    A Rhinecanthus aculeatus will attach and eat many inverts incuding shrimp, starfish, hermit crabs, and urchins.
