Couple of Trigger questions.

[angler man]

My wife and I are thinking about a mated pair of blue jaw triggers for our tank. There is nothing in the tank other than two blennies. I was looking to procure a pair no larger than 3.5 inches. My tank is a 92, is this too small?
If so, would this tank be big enough for one?

It is recommended minimum tank size be 100ga with plenty of hiding spaces and room to swim - with two of these... at full size they will be a bit crowded and the blennies may become food at some point. Therefore I would not advise this move.

If you intend to upgrade, the 92 will be fine. If you and your wife have no immediate plans to upgrade, I would not do it, as they will definitely outgrow the 92.

If I were to find a pair of juveniles, 3" to 3 1/2, how much time would I have to upgrade in your opinion?

I would say probably about a year and a half to possibly two years.

Cool, also would the tank eventually be too small for a single specimen as well?
Thanks in advance!

Yes. Triggers get rather large and swim quite a bit.
