hi All i have a question i how someone may help us with we have a 85 g salt tank in it is two large clarki clown and a large pecock puffer with a large coral banded shrimp and a large tenicale animone. we are are looking at adding a niger trigger fish and was wonder if it would bith the animone
 
It may eat the shrimp however. You chances are better because the shrimp is in the tank first.

The other issue that may arise is that the clowns may be very aggressive to a new tankmate. Clarkii's are known to get pretty aggressive, I would move some rock around to change the environment for everyone when you add the Trigger.

Also, this will pretty much max out you stocking level, so it will be your last fish.
 
thanks for the niger wont bother anemone info. i have moved rock around yesterday to make more caves and in my tank i have built as arock pile on each side with a opening in the middle because the anemone is so big . he was about 8 inches across the plate . so i though if the tank look like two different space that would help. the shrimp is also very large as he has been with us for almost a year now. about 4 inch long body he has done really will. but the thing im wondering ia why you would think a niger would be last stock fish
 
Your Peacock puffer is a cold water fish:

No sorry our toby peacock puffer is a salt water fish.Niger trigger was intoduced today to our tank and is doing fine hasnt botherd the coral banded shrimp but the shrimp jumps at him thanks for the info.
 
Yes, I am very well aware that it is a SW Fish. Did you read that link?

They have a very poor success rate in captivity. For many years, even the top experienced pufferkeepers couldn't keep them alive for much past 4 months. It has been discovered that they are coldwater puffers & will have a much better survival rate in cooler temperatures.
 
How long have you had him?
