Trigger fish

[StPatrick89]

Can you add a niger and Picasso trigger in the same tank? Also does time when introduced matter if it is possible? I hear nigers are more peaceful

Yes you can, I have a Clown, Assasi, Pinktail, Niger and Picasso, Nigers are more aggressive than Huma's. With triggers lots of rock for chilling out, sleeping quarters, etc... helps out with them getting along as well as keeping them well fed.
Here's a pic and vid of mine interacting with each other and the other fish.

What size tank you have?

Currently 90g, being replaced with a 180g as soon as I can find the time, energy and uneasiness of doing the transfer as its going where the current one is so its gonna be a project, and the main thing to have no or minimal corals affected negatively. Although the fish really are more important to me (reason for larger tank) but keeping them fine for the transfer is easy compared to the changes that might affect certain corals.

They should be fine. I had a Picasso and a Sargassum together for a long time in a 75 gallon with no issues. Order of introduction shouldn't matter, so long as there's plenty of hiding places and they get a good carnivore diet; my Picasso loved fresh grocery store clams.
