I have kept this Triggerfish (2 in a tank). They are fine in a single, they just need their separate hiding places. I have had them in a Fish-Only tank now for a year. I have decorated the tank with coral skeletons. I have given them many hiding places and they remain fine. This is a KOOL trigger. However to keep 2 in a tank it is recommended to buy young and introduce at the same time.

Niger Trigger: A beautiful deep blue color. Very shy when first introduced into the aquarium, but become much more active in about a week. My Niger Blue trigger is about three inches long and eats freeze-dried krill. No problems keeping a lionfish in the same 75 gallon tank... at this size.

I've had an Undulated Trigger and a Volitan Lionfish in the same tank for quite some time now, and have not seen the two get into any territorial disputes or anything. However, the Trigger's reputation as being a killer is true, as I have had other fish introduced into the aquarium and they were killed shortly after by the Trigger.

I guess it's a matter as to what sorts of fish your have in the same tank as the Undulated Trigger.

Am getting rid of a 6"er and real fat; he's just too crazy. Pulls the food out of every fish's mouth and then after eating attacks them all. His fovorite is a clown trigger about his size. Already ate a nice passive niger trigger and he's just too nasty to keep. Thought about starting a new tank but he's too nasty. It's back to the pet shop for him.

Blue trigger or Red-tooth trigger is actually refered to as the Niger trigger. People say that this trigger will pick at the fins of lionfish or fins of a shark but this has not happened yet to me. The Niger trigger is one of the most peaceful triggers in the hobby. They are usually sold very small and can get to be 18 inches. However they do grow very very slow and can easily be kept in a 75gal for quite a long time. These fish are NOT picky eaters and will eat almost about anything.

one time i had a clown trigger. he had been in my tank for 7 months and i had bought a mandari. when i put it in he didnt go for him and i was very shocked. each time i turned on the light each morning i got up, i always saw the trigger and mandarin both touching each other under the rock. the trigger was tilted over the mandarin and they both swam together, so they must of become friends. my 1 foot panther didnt go for him and so he looked like he was well fed by me. i am andrew pole in southampton

I have a friend that works at Petco, and upon a visit yesterday he asked me if I wanted a free fish. That fish is a 2" Undalated Triggerfish. He told me it would help to finish cycling my new tank which still has three weeks to go. He also informed me that it would more than likely KILL my three remaining Damselfish. I asked why is he free and got the back story on how he killed another guys fish. Well I'm writing this to inform all that I took my friend up on the free fish offer, brought him home put him in my tank and have spent the last two days watching my Blue Damselfish, Yellow-Belly Damselfish, and Mystery Damselfish who was always being chased by the other two Damsels put this Trigger in his place from the get go. I have seen no signs of aggressiveness toward my Damselfish which ranging in size from the 2" Blue, and yellow-Belly to a 1/2" Mystery Damselfish. The Damsels let it be known who the bosses are especially the Blue Damsel. So far so good.. And I was given a real horror story before I decided ok I'll give the little guy a chance.

I just Added An Undulated to my tank of 5 triggers which are 1 Whitetail,1 Pinktail,1Huma Huma,1 Bluejaw, 1 Clown, and everything is cool. He hides alot I think he is just getting adjusted to the new tank, and his new tankmates. Having this many in one tank is a risk, and there is just one thing to remember and that is to make sure you feed them a few times a day so they will not have a reason to fight each other. But note they will fight every once and a while and it is ok unless you start to notice them get real beat up looking, and usually it will just be one that is beat up. But besides all that they are great active, and very colorful fish.
