Clown Trigger ?

[reb]

I am looking at purchasing a clown trigger, but I have a few questions if some one would be able to help. For a few months he will be in a 75 gal, but after that it will be a 200 gal. I would like in the long run to have a tang, 1 or 2 angels, and maybe a butterfly. Would all of these get along for the most part? Can I keep any shrimp or starfish in the same tank? What am I going to need to feed him, and how often? Is it true that when they get bigger they will attack your hand if you reach into the tank? Thanks

Yes thats fine, buy him small, and MAKE SURE YOU DO get the 200 gallon. To many people say that and then never do just to justify getting a big fish. Yes he will get along with those fish. No you can't keep a shrimp or star with a trigger. Feed him once a day. And yes he may attack your hand if he's territorial as any fish might potentially do.

What should I feed him? Live food? Frozen? Will they accept flakes or pellets. The 200 gal will be set up as soon as we move. Thanks

Juv's have a high mortality rate so take that into consideration. Pick up a medium sized specimen and make sure to get that 200 running.
