it was 2"...i mean for the life of the fish...i may just have it with the other trigger in the end and a few others yet to be deturmaned...
He could be fine for a while. He could be fine with them forever, or he could just rip them apart. Just never know with triggers.

....do they just snap or is it a visual agresstion pattern from the start and they are just hit or miss and you could get a calm or agressive fish...
You will never know. That also depends on the trigger though too. Usually clowns are pickers, and bullies. My 5inch clown ate my friends foot long barrcuda lol... but for the most part i would say its something you will notice.
Now undulated triggers/titans.... everything will be fine, they are very quiet fish and keep to them selfs. They are the bad ones, where you wake up in the morning turn on your lights and your tank is slaughtered. I have had undulateds and been fine with them, but i have heard these stories and they make sense.
Be wise when choosing, i think you will know if the clown will work within the first 5 mins.

all right...i showed a pic to the wife and she said it looks nice...just got to wait for some funds...i seen a 125 with live rock and stand for $300 and i am selling one of my complete 55gals to a friend for $300 so i will see if they still have that tank for my salt plans...i just got a black aro so funds are low again...
the niger trigger might stand a chance...maybe
the other 3 fish i'd expect to end up snack or jus killed for the trigger's own enjoyment because although Clown triggers aren't the worst they're generally known to be murderers once they mature. this is where ya get the stories of "well my Clown Trigger is fine with __(insert passive fish)___" it's because it hasn't matured yet. I just don't see clownfish and a dwarf being able to hold their own

i have been looking at some vids and there are a few with large clown triggers with nigers and clownfish, tangs ect...i think after i move i will try it and see what happens
Yup, some even in reefs on youtube. Its pushing the limit, but certain fish set the limit, not a species. My clown never bothered corals.

that is true...kind like tank buster fish or gars and pbass mix...some have bad exp. with them busting the tank or fighting with eachother and they are all labed as such after the fact...i was looking to get a general posting of peoples exp. to get a % chance of it failing before i tried it...as i am taking salt tanks like i have my fresh tank mixes...as in everything can work for someone at some time, just be ready and expecting it not to so when it does work it is even better...
