CAN YOU HAVE A CLEAN UP CREW IN A FOWLR

[caribemob]

I HAVE a tank 125 gal that has a picasso, niger triggerfish and a snowflake eel, will be getting several tangs, and one grouper later, is there a clean-up crew that you can recommend for my tank to keep it nice and clean from the stuff i don't want in my tank

You are very limited for a CUC with triggers as they will eat snails, hermits, starfish, and anything else. well that just about anything that will go in a CUC.

i'm hearing different that hermits would be good and also certain other's. i'm still not sure though

I had a few snails in my 55 with a niger trigger and he could care less lol. You might as well go buy 1 or 2 at your LFS and see what happens, worse case senerio, your out a couple of bucks (but well worth the knowledge!).

you can do certain starfish like chocalate chip starfish but with caution because Trigger's love sessile invertabrates. Just take time to research the best possible choice's like long spine urchin's with caution sand sifting starfish with caution etc....

try to get a few really large turbo snails... their shells are really thick when they are big and if they get eaten... like said before you're only out a couple bucks at the worst... I would think a trigger would have a hard time getting through a fully grown Mexican turbo snail's shell

turbo snails and white leg hermits, and i forget the others. thanks bro

If there is a trigger in this tank the turbo's are walking dead same with hermit's but it will be good for your trigger's teeth to keep them filled down most likely youll just have to stick with starfish such as the choclate chip and sand sifting starfish or serpent star's they won't really be bothered too much from your trigger's.
