Hi all

Does anybody know if a clown trigger and a rectangular trigger are compatible with each other?
 
hey viper

as far as i know in my experiance i was not able 2 keep 2 triggers 2gether in the same tank..
 
i had 7 with no problem......and on at least 3 occassion i had the clown trigger and picasso in the same setup.......as long as the new addition is slightly larger than the resident
 
I keep a 18cm clown trigger, 3 x picasso triggers 7-10cm and a niger trigger 10cm all among my other fish in our show tank approx 9000l
 
Thanks, is the rectangular also known as the picasso?
 
no picasso and rectangle are different! if you wanting trigers ill catch you some in a month or so
 
OK, Viper, sorry for the slight hijack...

If I wanna start up a nano of some sorts, maybe FOWLR or with some hardy corals just for colour, can I add a trigger? Maybe do a little predator tank; just a trigger and a lion or 2? I know the triggers can get quite big, but will a smaller tank be too small for it?

Would they be a threat to any corals? Also, what would I need to feed them, should it be only live food?

I want a predator tank, but don't want to go big...
 
every fish is different!! iv never had problems

I wouldn`t advise adding fish like triggers or lions to a nano, at worse you`ll stunt their growth.
 
I generally catch honeycombs ,rectangle and occasionally clown, i cant keep triggers anymore si i can give away my catches (i do however owe dean like a 100 fish before i can give to anyone else LOL)
 
oh aqnd its a awfull idea putting predators in a nano the polution would be insane
 
Well if you ever come across a very small clown trigger I would be very happy to take it off your hands.... :)

Wow, this would be a total no no in my books, bordering on cruelty. A small tank is no place for these guys, these fish in the wild grow to be very large fish and are used to large swimming space. If you looking for a predator for a small tank consider a frog fish that doesn't swim in open water.
