It wouldnt be a predatory tank if the fish you put in doesn’t have other fish to be predatory against !!! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: Try a 12” hammer head shark lol!!! Kidding !!

Harlequin Tusk isn't really even aggressive. It's one of my all-time favorites. The teeth make it look like it would be but I've never seen any aggression other than he will open his mouth wide when competing for a piece of food. They are certainly meat eaters. If small a 75g will be fine for now. Eventually of course should be in a bigger tank. What else did you have mind?

i have a 75-gallon tank and am thinking of making it a little carnivore tank so i was wondering what trigger fish i could put in so far i got a Picasso triggerfish a bursa and a Niger trigger
I just saw some of your previous posts. Do you already have the 75g? Looks like you mentioned you already have it and it looks overstocked in triggers. If these are tiny triggers ok again for now. They grow fast and will need to be rehomed.

How many tanks do you have? I see a 55g mentioned and Lionfish, frogfish etc..

+1 to this, I don't think the tusk should be added.
