I would like to know- Would a "Sri Lankan" Bluelined Trigger, Canthigaster margaritatus (I think thats the name; Diamond-Flecked Puffer), almost any Parrotfish, and a Snowflake Moray get along together?

What size tank would I need for them? I know not to keep any of these in a reef... I want to start a large fish-only tank. If I can't get ahold of the puffer, I would get a Porcupine instead. I work at my LFS, so I would be able to get these for great prices ^__^ 10% above the price we get it for!:p Saves me hundreds in the long run.

I really appreciate any help that you have to offer!;) The main thing I need to know is if these are compatible.

I also need to know what would be the best Parrot to keep. We don't stock many parrots, and I'm not sure which are unfit for captivity.

Thanks again!

I don't know anyone who has a parrot, but I suspect you're talking public aquaria size.

Lmao, really? I knew parrots got big, but dang... Really, the Snowflake Moray is relatively small for a moray, and they stay curled up under the rock, and the Blueline doesn't get massive for a SW fish, either. The puffer is also a smallish fish... I think... I would have to check the size again, I forget ^___^

Umh , small in comparison to what? The porcupine puffers get around 18 inches to 2ft so... Oh and it's 2 ft of attitude to so I'm not sure it would really appreciate anything else living in it's tank. Also even if you can find a parrot that you can squeeze into say a 1000 gallon or more,"mostly guessing but it would have to be huge". They also have a very specialized diet corals and coralline algae so good luck man.

P.S. I really don't mean this to sound sarcastic so please don't take it as such.
