Niger trigger

Most folks seem to feel that these are one of the few "reef safe" triggers. However, I read somewhere that they do not do well with Madarin's in my tank. Is this going to be a problem????

They have been fine for me over the years but every now and then there is a mean one :eek:

IME they're by far the least predictable of the triggers. They have the widest bell-curve of behavior. I've seen some that were literally being picked on by firefish, and I've seen others kill large angels and clown triggers.

How big is the mandarin's tank? That would make a huge difference. A problem with that is that if you end up getting an aggressive one, the mandarin will probably be dead before you figure it out.

Well the tank is a 72 gallon with a 15 gallon fuge. Damm if it kills the mandarin then I'm dead too...lol (since its my wife's favorite fish):)
 
That tank is too small for a niger. They get much too large for that tank size. Its aggression would likely be magnified in a relatively smaller sized tank.
