Default What fish would you get

So if you guys had to start your tank all over again and could only choose three fish for a 75g what fish would you choose and why??

My list so far:

powder blue tang
leopard wrasse
masked rabbit fish

i love the colours and designs on these fish

So far you guys all have terrible suggestions for a 75 gallon tank!! A Powder Blue Tang, a Sailfin Tang, or a Purple Tang in a 75??? That's awful.

I would suggest a trio of Flame Wrasses or Hooded Wrasses. Why? They will never outgrow the tank. They are peaceful to other fish (besides possibly some other wrasses). They are easy to keep once acclimated and not prone to disease. They are beautiful. A trio will provide you with one super male, one sub-dominant male, and one female thus providing the best color display and likely spawning rituals as well.

Well I see many 75 and 90 tanks with more them two tangs I don't see why having one tang in a 75 would be bad, yes I understand they get big and need swimming space

If you understand tangs need swimming room than you have got to see that having only one tang would be bad. I mean, it is not half bad, it is bad.

A sailfin tang in a 75 gallon. You better stick to corals.

Edit come to think of it, if Mad Jolly Corals is giving such terrible advice about fish stocking you have to wonder about the quality of the advise they give about coral.

Dude, what is your schtick? Are you this churlish in person? You know you have the option to not come off as an arrogant jackass every time you make a post right?

Here, watch:

@ Madjellycorals

I have to disagree with your choices of fish in this regard. Clown triggers and sailfin tangs will simply outgrow a 75 gallon tank.

There, easy and I don't implicate myself as a narcissistic turd scrape.

You're welcome.
