Blue throat,red tail, on the pricey side and need a large tank crosshatch,lunulla

 

[Armen]

How Big Should My Tank To Be?
What About Nigertriger?

 

[reefsUP]

That one isn't reef safe

 

[Armen]

So How Big Tank Do I Need For Triger?

 

[Drew Shark]

Most Triggers are long and like to swim, so a long tank will be best. The only problem is that your tank is tall not long.

I have a pair of blue jaws in my 90 gallon, reef safe and very dosile. My favorite in my tank.

Blue jaw, Niger, Pink tail, Sargassum, and Crosshatch are all reef safe triggers. I have a blue jaw pair and Niger in a reef.

Ideal long term for any trigger 300gal, goldenback triggers usually come in 12+in so the bigger tank the better. When the bluethroats,red tail,nigers are juvis they can be kept in small tanks but eventually get big.

Yes it is
It might eat inverts but won't touch any corals
I have blue throat, Niger and clown trigger

sargassum's rock... so do blue jaws... you can get small blue jaws for like 30 bucks if you shop around... sargassum's are balla... like 80 bucks for a small one, but they are worth it...

my friend had a huge clown trigger in his tank for months, and he did fine until he got ick and died... i have never heard of a predatory trigger dieing of ick... strange... but it totally depends on the fish itself... he tried getting another small trigger, and it ate a colony of micro mussas... then a blue hippo tang ate another colony of micro's... LOL...

Ok thanks guys for advises

I always thought triggers were aggressive. Interesting though. Any dwarf species?
