[GUILO]

hello, i need help on get a pair for my fish. i have a 180 g and i own a male blue jaw trigger fish, he is about 3 inches and a male flame wrasse about 3 1/4 inches. i want to get them a female. what size would i need to get, will the males be aggresive with the female?

Anyone??????

I am not familiar with triggers but there shouldn't be any problems adding female flames. There would only be issues if it's another terminal male or the second flame is a sub-adult male, which may be a problem down the road. The females are generally smaller. I currently have one terminal male and 5 females in a 300 and they all get along just fine.

Use cover or net over the tank as pairs or multiples are more prone to jump... Should be no problem with bj trigger.... the more females you got the better...

It never occurred to me of having more than 1 female BJ trig but now I'm interested...I may look into that possibility after a tank upgrade. Does anyone have experiences on a harem of BJ trig?

I think less than 3" would be ideal.
