What is the recommended trigger size to buy in order to get a hardy fish? I've currently got a clown trigger that's about 1.5 - 2 inches and a friend of mine with a 210 wants to get a clown trigger. He's got two tangs and a puffer in his aquarium so far and he's looking to add one more fish. All the fish currently in the tank are about 5 inches.

IME going a little bigger, around 3 inches +/- a half inch, is best. Small enough to adapt to captive conditions, but hardier than the tiny babies.
Also can depend on aggressiveness of tank mates. I like to "grow out" small fish in a smaller tank, in this case my 55, before adding to the big boy tank.
