Triggers anyone?

[MidasMan]

who has had experience in triggers? what size tank? what other fish can go with them?

 

[bluedempsey]

many fish can go with them at first,
as they grow! so does their additude!

 

[hyphen]

it totally depends on what type of trigger you plan on owning. some are extremely aggressive and need tanks entirely to themselves (undulated, clown). and some can have some tankmates that are semi-aggressive (humu humu, rectangulatus, niger, blue throat). so it totally depends.

hell, i've even seen pics of a trigger community, but that's REALLY not suggested.

 

[MidasMan]

will a niger and a huma huma go together if there the same size?

 

[hyphen]

you generally don't wanna mix triggers as they're aggressive towards conspecifics. i'd say you can keep together when they're juveniles, but as they get larger the aggression will rise. that is, unless you have a really large tank.

will a niger and a huma huma go together if there the same size?

possibly for awhile watch them though!

 

[bluedempsey]

the niger
will be the more docile of the two
the huma.... u never know

 

[bluedempsey]

are u triing to keep community
or looking to keep a large aggressive fish?

Most triggers get huge like 20inches but there are a select few that only reach 10inches so with that said... It all depends on how many you want if you want a couple say 2or3 then I would get a pretty big tank because they are pissed off. I would say like 200 gal maybe bigger and as far as other tank mates Big Angels can take care of them selves and Large Puffers and Groupers other then that I dont know
