Lagoon Triggerfish

[netminder1976]

I saw this fish at the lfs and thought it was the neatest fish I had ever seen. My question is.... Will he be okay with my other fish? I currently have 2 damsels and 1 clown.

[cocoa_pleco]

i would be worried about him harassing the clownfish. what size tank do you have? most triggers need over 75g

[netminder1976]

I have a 37 so I guess that wouldnt work. What type of fish would you say I should get that can get along with the others. I like ones that are different looking. Also... this belongs in another thread but does a lunar light bother the fish at all?

[cocoa_pleco]

by lunar do you mean moonlight? if so no.

you could add a bottom cruiser like a clown goby

Jeezle pete folks, A. you don't keep a trigger in a 29, and B. you don't keep the trigger with anything other then large adult angelfish and moray eels. One would very quickly snap those two damsels and clownfish in half. Not necessarily to eat them. Triggers like to 'taste' things, and with those powerful beaks, they can easily snap a fish (or a finger) in half.
No trigger of any kind belongs in a 29, nor with small fish (nor any crustacean or snail).
