Well , I should have one by Wednesday, I ordered a male off this site. This is my first on-line order. I hope it goes well. I had a clown for 5 years that I lost. If all goes well, I can post a pic. soon.

I do not have pic's but I do have bluethroats, I have had my pinktail for 3 years now, my pinktail is a character, but that could be the difference in maturity.
I would say go the Black Durgon ("black hawaiin") if you liked the pinktail, that was my first choice (Black Durgon) 3 years ago, I went to pick it up and it jumped the night before, that is how I ended up with the Pinktail......

I have no problem with the combo, my Pinktail has been very tolerable over the years. I can keep urchins, stars & hermits with my pinktail, it will eat snails though. I do have problems now and than with my pinktail & filefish, I think it all depends on what side of the bed they wake up on.

I also was wondering how the pink tail gets along, (actually any others that anyone could suggest).
However, I would like to get a trigger, but I have:
2 percs
six line
coral beauty
No shrimp (or as any trigger would say "lunch")
but I do have brittle star and various snails and hermits

pinktail is the calmest trigger i've ever had. the bluejaw/bluethroat is definitely reef ready. as far as how the two get along i'm not sure. i have a pinktail, a humu and a big yellow rabbit along with a yellow or mimic tang. they all hang out together peaceably with some damsels and a couple firefish. this is my weirdest tank yet. :thinking:

I posted a pic of my blue throat in the disease and treatment forum but he died last week. He was in QT and had lympho. I felt bad cause it was my fault for not watching the PH close enough and it pretty much crashed on me. It's a real beautiful fish and very sociable.

The blue throat I had passed away due to he already had lympho and I mistakenly let the PH get out of hand and he jumped out.
I have a bigger QT now and just purchased a Hawaiian Black trigger (Melicthys niger, same latin name as the Pinktail trigger). This is not the same Niger (Odonus niger) as you are talking about. The Odonus is less reef safe and more agressive than the Melicthys. The Melicthys also doesn't grow as large. If you haven't bought one yet you might take a look at the Hawaiian black although they are much more rare.
