Triggerfish tank

[bradbmbj]

Every time I bring my wife to the LFS with me see immediately goes to the triggers, so I am thinking about setting up another tank for her but I am unsure if the trigger list she likes will work, this is what she wants, Clown, Niger, Rectangle, and Bluethroat, I am thinking the Bluethroat for sure will have problems. What do you think? If this is possible I am thinking about a 125g for them, Oh and she wants a snowflake eel.

In my tank many (many) years ago my clown and Niger were fine together.

Be prepaired for a heavy bioload... Triggers are messy eaters. Very fun and great personality but well designed for eating.

I also had a snowflake eel that was fine with the clown and a niger trigger.

If you have an acrylic tank the triggers will scratch the tank with their teeth.

Thanks for sharing, and it will definitely be a glass tank.

Its definitely doable, but I would leave the bluethroat out of that tank. You could put the bluethroat in your reef though.

Thats what I was thinking, but I dont know how often I will see him in the reef with all the caves that are in that tank.

How many triggers per gallon? If there is such a thing? (generally speaking)

I would like to, some time, setup a trigger tank too.
