blue line trigger.

hey, i want to know if anybody has any experience with a blue line trigger. there is one at the my fish store, and im soo tempted. i have a 120 gal. please let me know everything and pictures if any.

I have had much experience with blue lines from tiny to 7.5" ones. What size is the one you're looking at? How much are they asking for it? What do you feed in your tank for food, and what is in your tank. Is your tank 5' long or 6'? The more you tell us, the more I can tell you.

They get large, not as good looking as the juvenile form, and very aggressive. What else do you have in the tank?

They are not compatible with emperor angels. I had my emperor take down a 4 inch one in 2 days.

well, the one that i saw is about 4-5inches already and they are selling it for $90. i have a porc puffer, a tomato clown, foxface, and a paddlefin wrasse in my tank. im feeding clams, squid, formula one two and vhp.

It will quickly outgrow your tank.
It also may kill everything else you have before you get a chance to find a new home.

Porc puffer would go okay for now, the clown and fox I'm not sure about, the paddlefin may be chased and nipped in the short run. When I had to move the 7.5" blue line that grew from 4" in a year out of my 135 was when it took a chunk out of my 12" coris wrasse. I have a video of the trigger fighting with its reflection, I will have to find it later at home, but it shows how they behave when they are strutting their stuff. They can be quite mean unfortunately.
