I think you are stocked. Look at the adult sizes of those fish. Tangs get very large.
I also assume you don't want a reef?

Keep Cycling Damsels and add New Fish?

Hi Neofish- do you have any pics of the Picasso?
Hahaha, so true!
Don't worry...with that trigger in there, over time, the issue will probably take care of itself.
Hahaha, so true!
yeah umm i hate to say this but with that Picasso Triggerfish your probably going to be down to umm just that one fish in no time. Not trying to be mean but triggers are not a good choice of fish to put with damsels or chromis since they can become dinner for the trigger. Honestly if you plan on keeping any fish smaller than i would say 3-4 inches get rid of the trigger.
Update
I don't have any pics of my Picasso or any of my SW fish yet. At this point the Picasso is the same size as 3 of the Damsels. The Yellow Tang is 2 1/2 times bigger than the Picasso. I'm aware that the Picasso will get bigger, as well as the Yellow Tang. I may remove the Damsels to avoid later casualties later, but I may not. . .
The Damsels were used for cycling not the Picasso and Tang, as someone assumed in an earlier thread.
Thanks for all of the input!

I would be interested to see how the picasso does because: (a) I am considering getting one as the main attraction for a future 90g+ FOWLR; and (b) I have heard mixed reviews on their compatibility. Some people and books say that picasso triggers (along with a few other trigger species) can get along with other fish that are semi-aggressive or aggressive as long as both fish have their space. Other sources say that any trigger is not suited for a community tank. I think fish, like any other type of animal, is entitled to a personality that allows them to get along with other fish or not. If your trigger is happy in the tank with the tang, more power to you and to him!
Personally, I never had much luck with damsels. The one I had left over from cycling became VERY aggressive and territorial when I added tankmates. He became so stressed out he died before I could move him out of the tank. So it goes.

I have a Picasso trigger with chromes and maroon clown babies as wel as snails and crabs and he doesn't bother a thing..There is even a CC sea star in my tank that likes to sit on the algae feeding clip and when my picasso wonts a bite off the clip he nudges my CC and the CC will lift his leg and let him eat..My tangs and foxface do the same thing,,
As he gets older he can get aggressive so I may have to do something about him later but as long as he stays sweet he stays..I would recommend no live foods to you picasso,I have heard that makes them more aggressive.
I think the rule of thumb that triggers are aggressive and some of the others things about other fish,are true to a point but it doesn't or shouldn't apply to all fish,,just like us they are all different in personality and temperament.
