"Does best in a species-only tank" ?

[125intx]

What does this mean? That is what it says on one of the Triggers. Does this mean do not put with other trigers. or PUT only with other Triggers?

that theonly thing in that tank should be that exact species of animal

OIC, so i can put a clown triger in with a niger triger but not two clowns in the same tank.
thanks for the clearifacation

 

[fishman830]

i thgink it means just that fish

 

[125intx]

Surly not, i dont think trigers are a fish that have to be left alone in the tank.

Clown Triggers have a reputation for extreme aggression. Once they reach their adult size (up to 20") they may decide to declare war on the other tankmates. They can be quite territorial as adults and often do not tolerate other fish within their space.
I don't know if this is for your 125g but that tank will be too small for the clown eventually, even if he is the only thing in there.

well he is about 4 inches long now, how long before he get to be an adult?

You should post this in the aggressive forum... Youll get more help then.
Just so you know once your trigger hits about 8 inches... thats when it will go insane and get mean. Thats about when mine bit and shattered a thermometer in the tank...
