Blue Throat Tiggerfish a good fit?

[rbraunberger]

thinking about getting a Blue Throat Triggerfish to add to my mixed reef....any advice?!

Tank: RedSea Reefer 525 XL

Current Fish:
2 Purple Tangs - Large and Med
Damsal - Large
2 Pajama Cards
2 Pintail wrasses
5 Lyretail Anthias
2 Bellus Angels
1 Flame Angel
1 Copperband Butterfly
2 Clownfish
2 Large cleaner shrimp

Thanks!

Yeah probably.

I would be more worried about your damsel with the copperband and wrasses.

If you can keep two purple tangs together as the only tangs in the tank I would say you can do anything!

I've had Bluethroats in all of my tanks. My current is a CL 70G Artisan II with mixed reef and heavy wrasses. He's @4-4.5" and gets along with everyone. I keep him well fed to lessen aggression.

Should be fine, as it gets larger it may, but not necessarily go after the cleaner shrimp, particularly after a molt.

Triggerfish and shrimp ummm. Idk bout that.

Yep. My only concern would be the shrimp.
