most sites on the net suggest a 125G aquarium if required for a clown trigger but this seems a little on the small side to me.
By using the times 6 rule does this mean that a clown trigger which can grow to 50 cm's needs a 10 ft tank ?

How long did you have him? How big was he? What was his roommates?

You should be fine in a 180G. I have one in my 150.

Not at all so far but he's only 4.5". I've had him since he was really tiny though and I never saw him be agressive towards another fish. Then again, I don't have any fish that can be easily bullied.

i have had my guy for three weeks now with pinktail and blue throat who are bigger. He is in a 135 gallons doing great not picking on anyone. he is about 3 inches now. 180 would be great for yours just pick your tankmates wisely

He got to be around the size of a football and he was with a miniatus grouper.
I still have the grouper. It was funny, the clown trigger and grouper formed kind of a bond and they slept next to eachother each night.
