trigger fish

[Guynamedfish]

i have a 75-gallon tank and am thinking of making it a little carnivore tank so i was wondering what trigger fish i could put in so far i got a Picasso triggerfish a bursa and a Niger trigger

Oh boy... In a 75, that wont last too long. Triggers grow QUICK and are insane on bioload.

I personally wouldn't put any trigger in a 75 gallon unfortunately. They all get relatively big and require larger tanks.

I'll encourage you. A blue throat or pink tail would be nice. Just plan on managing them as they get larger.

Let alone the potential behavior. I kept 4 of them in a 150g fowlr, it was lively on occasion!

There are four in here. Humu, Niger, Undulate, and Clown. None we're over 5". Clean up crew got pretty expensive...

Other fish included purple tang, clown tang, sailfin tang, Clown fish, mandarin, single spot fox face, fiji fox face, purple dottyback, and chromis.

Your 200 gallon, I wouldn't loose sleep. I had 4 (pair of nigers, humu humu and a ******* of a clown) in a 150g + maybe 10 fish or so at its peak. All four made it over 6+ inches before I broke it down. I was a fowlr, so n&p wasn't much a issue.

I do what most would consider overstocking regularly!

Oh s***! Nice! I clicked on your build thread, saw the IM200 ext and assumed it was 200g. Your a beast doing that in a 110!

Humu Humu
Blue throat
Blue Jaw
crosshatch

I have a mid sized male blue jaw in a mixed reef 180 and he has been a perfect gentleman and grown ever so slightly

So no On the Picasso or any trigger

So no On the Picasso or any trigger

that would be a no for the most part, 1 blue throat(jaw) or 1 picasso trigger might do ok if it is the ONLY trigger in the tank, the rest you mentioned get too large. Not multiple triggers in that size tank

+1 on a picasso, but Id go humu instead of a blue throat. IME, those two stay comparatively smaller.

Any of the others, they tend to end up at the 8" length and larger when fully grown.
