Can I put them together if they are about the same size? I also have a Koran Angel, and a Mandarin Goby in a 75 gallon, With 80 lbs LR, and 40 lbs LS

I wouldn't...clown triggers are mean. And it will quickly outgrow a 75. If you get one small enough to fit in a 75 for long, it probably won't live long. (For some strange reason, the mortality rate on juvenile clown triggers is astoundingly high. Once they're passed a certain length (I think 6"? I could be wrong on that though.) they're tough.

I think you meant a clownfish and a Niger Trigger? If you meant a clown trigger and a niger then sistrmary is correct. Niger triggers are very peaceful, about the only trigger that is. The Clown trigger would terrorize(kill) a Niger most likely. I'm pretty sure a clownfish and a Niger would get along fine.

The pinktail trigger is nicer than the niger :D Nigers are apt to biting the aquariest whien they're in there messing around in the tank.

That is true about the Niger, but mine stays away from me, he's a big wus. I wish I could say the same for the stupid Domino I have in there. I kinda wish the Niger would make him disappear;)

Ive had a niger for 6 months. He grew to 5 inches. I then added a 3 inch clown trigger. They Love each other.
This only worked because the niger was established and I added the AGRESSIVE FISH LAST!
