I have been thinking about a Trigger addition to my FO tank... 300g 8' long.
What about: Niger Triggerfish
"The Niger triggerfish is a beautiful fish that can look a little different depending on mood. Usually the Niger triggerfish has a completely blue body. The further back on the body you look the softer blue it becomes. This fish can however sometimes display green color as well. The edges of the fins are bright blue. When they fish get excited, it can vocalize a grunting sound.
The Niger triggerfish is usually not aggressive towards other fish species but can become aggressive with age. They are tolerant towards other Niger triggerfish and it is possible to keep several in the same aquarium as long as all of them are introduced to the aquarium at the same time. They can be kept in community aquariums with other larger fish that are not too timid. They should never be kept with small fish as they may eat it."
Would the 3" Flame and Blackback be in jeopardy?
If not Niger then are there others that would be better suited?
Never had a Trigger before.
My current fish:
Emperor Angel - 6.75"
Achilles Tang - 6.5"
Queen Angel - 6"
Majestic Angel - 5"
Powder Blue Tang - 4.75"
Auriga Butterfly - 4.5"
Copperband Butterfly - 4"
Golden Butterfly - 4"
Raccoon Butterfly - 3.5"
Flame Angel - 3"
Blackback Butterfly - 3"
