Hello there!

I was wondering what you all would consider some good starter fish? I have a few ideas, but I am rather conflicted about some of them.

I've read that the Picasso Triggerfish is easy to take care of, but very aggressive toward other fish. I also read that they do not belong in reef environments because they will kill the reefs. So if I wanted to have a triggerfish, what could I put in the tank with him besides water?!

I am also interested in Dragonets but know almost nothing about them other than that they are gorgeous. What would be good tankmates for a Dragonet and how finicky are they?

I have 3 goals. 1) Not to kill the fish (must be hardy) 2) Not getting fish that will kill the fish (must be kind) and 3) Having corals (that the fish won't eat and kill).

I am going to look into getting some books this coming week, but any help that you all could extend would be much appreciated! Thanks!
