minimum tank size for a tusk, trigger, and small eel?

[reefer32]

can someone tell me what would be the minimum tank size for a tusk, trigger, and small eel?
also, is there a recommended shape aquarium for these inhabitants?
thanks in advance!

you need to be more specific about which trigger and which eel .

a clown trigger
a dwarf, snowflake or ribbon eel

I would say the minimum for these would be a 90g. A 125 would be preferable for these fish

 

[surfinusa]

Clown triggers need at least a 250 gallon tank.

 

[reefer32]

what about the shape of the tank?

Rectangle 6 footer in my opinion, this could be as small as a 125.

I think all those but the trigger would be fine in at least a 90g. But I'm going to have to agree with surfinusa about the trigger. They get realy big and aggressive. Need a species only tank, IMO.

your gonna want a minimum 125 for a clown trigger and dont be suprised if it goes postal and kills its tankmates .

I agree with this. A 250 gallong tank may be needed after you've had the fish for 10 years and it is 12 - 15 inches long, however a 6 ft 125 should be fine for a long time.
On another note, I would not put a clown trigger with a delicate eel like a ribbon or with a dwarf eel. I'd go with a snowflake, banana, black-edge, zebra, etc.
