Hey guys, If you wanted to "build" a tank, centered around a Niger trigger, what other fish could go in it,and what would you do with the tank in general?
The tank is a 90 gallon, 4x18"x2

What can he live with happily, what should i avoid at all costs?
any info regarding this please, thanks!
 
Reef or Fowlr
 
what kind of niger trigger?
odonus niger ot melithys (sp?) niger?
the melithys shouldn't really be kept in a 90 and a niger won't leave room for much else.
i'd do (in order)
a pair of maroon ot tomato (or relative) clowns
a velvet neon damsel or two or maybe a largish dotty
an arc eye or freckled hawkfish
a yellow, purple or scopas tang (could do pretty much any zebrasoma i guess...)
the trigger. maybe wait a month or so after the damsel/comparable fish to add another fish and another month/fish etc.. you don't want any one thing to get too comfortable as king of the tank.

assuming filtration and maintainence of course
 
i kept my niger with a queen trigger,leopard moray,squirrelfish and a volitans lion but i def wouldn't keep a trigger with a lion again as they nip the fins all the time
