Niger Triger

[yukonblizzard]

There is about a 5 inch Niger Trigger at the lfs and I was thinking about keeping him in my 180 fowlr. Is $60 a good price for him. He has no ich spots, is nice and plump, and active. How is their general aggression??? Would he be compatable with the following fish?

The current inhabitants are:

4 inch Yellow Tang
4 inch Hippo Tang
3 inch Hawkfish
6 inch Sailfin Tang
3 inch Bursa Trigger
7 inch Vlamangii tang... Dont worry I am planning for a much larger tank

There is also a same size Huma Trigger for the same price and condition. Could I add him instead of the Niger Trigger. Or would he be incompatable with my Bursa?

And there is a nice 4 inch Porcupine Puffer there too. Would he be compatible with my current inhabitants??

I would QT for at least 6 weeks before adding to the DT if I decide to choose one.

Sorry for all the questions but I want to make sure I wont regret my decision.

Thanks for your time.

Forgot to add that the Huma, and Niger trigger have been there for a month. But the Porcupine has only been there for 2 weeks.

I'd go with the Porc personally. Nigers and Humu's are similar fish, both can be overly aggressive as they get older, but the Humu grows slower. They are generally compatible with the fish you have.

I think niger triggers tend to do well on sushi grade tuna and ikura.
