Stocking idea for 75gal. Will it work?

Wondering if I can have a short tail bristle tooth tang, coral beauty, white tailed pygmy angelfish, 2 clowns in a 75 gallon tank. May want some various damsels and smaller fish.

I personally wouldnt put a tang in anything less than a six foot tank. But theres lots of people on here with bristletooths in that size tank and lots of places say thats the minimum for them though. Maybe someone who has one in their tank that size can comment! I do know my bristletooth has a 300 gallon tank but he really likes to swim around in the rocks where as my other tangs are always out in the open.

Thanks for the response. I was iffy on the 70gal minimum from some websites.

Yeah me too. Ive kept a few in my 70 as tiny little ones for grow out when I still had the tank but they are way happier in my big tank and very active

Oh, and FYI: Both Angelfish are from the centropyge family. Be careful if you really want to do two angels. 75 gallons isn’t a ton of space to work with to have enough space if one angel becomes territorial.

If you really want a tang, you could in my opinion, but ONLY if the dimensions of your tank were OVER 54” long, and even then, I still would be hesitant.
