Hey Jethole, Not to be a complete bummer but that would be way too many fish for a 65G tank. The Trigger, puffer, and tang need minimum 75G if they are the only Big fish in the tank. I am assuming you are talking about pods for feeding. If so I'm not sure any of those fish would actually eat them. The Trigger and Puffer usually eat bigger things like silver sides (small mino sized fish) and the Tang is a vegetarian that would also eat brine shrimp or Mysis. I would suggest you rethink the size of tank you want and if you are able to go bigger I would select one of those fish only then stock with smaller less demanding fish. That is the problem with this hobby, as soon as you buy one thing you eliminate 50 other things you thought you wanted. Jason _________ started 8/7/02 370G 3x400W MH + 8X36W T5.
