Clean up Crew for a trigger tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I agree.. if you dont know how to mix triggers it would be a disaster.. but i have alot of experience mixing triggers so i believe everything will be okay
 
How big are the triggers. I got away with turbo snails (best common name ever) for a while when my undulated was a little guy. I've had luck keeping a supply of mussles and clams on hand so he tends to chew them apart and ignores the snails.

And exactly what experience is that? And how big where these triggers you have experience with?
How big is your tank?
 
Depends on where you are talking.. my store has countless 30 gallons, countless 65 gallons, 125s and 210s.. Besides the 40 gallon trigger tank i have at my house.. Size would range all the way from 2 inches all the way up to about 9.. i Hvae mixed trggers in tanks as small as 20 long without so much as a fin nip.. and im talking fish from 2-5 inches in the 20.. and lots of them, the more there is the less agression there will be.. having a two trigger reef is much harder then a 7 trigger reef.. but then again i have a 7 inch pineapple in with a two inch picasso in a 30 gallon np.

Yeah in a store when there is heaps of fish and no territories is alot diff to saying its ok to mix 2-3 triggers in someones tank.
 
it all depends on this fish.. i dont work miracles i simply let the fish decide what they get kept with.. at my house i have a 4 inch clown in with a 3 inch picasso and undulate no problem.. if theres any fightng or aggression they get moved to a different tank.. and its not imossible to have 2- 3 triggers in one tank cuz im looking at my tank right now..
