That is a very bad idea. Triggers, even the "docile" triggers need far larger tanks. Yes, it could cause trouble for the clowns...but then having 3 clowns may cause trouble eventually too. Anyway, it is not a good fish for that size tank I am afraid.

Yes, that will not work out very long. Either the trigger will begin to kill the clowns, or he will stress himself out to the point where he kills himself.

The Niger Triggerfish requires a 70 gallon or larger aquarium with rocks and caves for hiding, They are a great active fish for the more aggressive, fish-only display. They can grow up to 12" or better.
