I had a GS Maroon Clown that was very aggressive. He dispatched a Niger Trigger that was twice his size and would attack my fingers when I would clean the tank.

I posted this in another thread, but I have had a tank for probably 15 years at least and the most aggressive fish I have ever had was an undulated trigger.
It drew blood from my fingers many times and I had it for years and I eventually had to take it out of my 125 as it got so huge and I could not put anything new in the tank.
I thought I could put this fairly large lion fish in the tank and it could protect itself, but it lasted about 60 seconds. The first thing the trigger did was to remove the lion fishes eyeballs and after that it was defenseless.

Wow...Sorry about the lion, but I bet that Undy was awesome. Do you have any pics of it? What did you end up doing with him.
I was desiring to get a trigger tank started eventually and wanted to have an undy.

I think I have some old photo's that I will try and dig up when I get home. I took him back to my main fish store and they supposedly took him to this big fancy restaraunt with a huge tank.
I didn't really hold it against the undy when he drew blood as he was just mistaking my fingers for feeder guppies!
It's funny though as he never messed with the few fish I had in the tank before I put him in, it was just any new fish.

The most "territorial" fish I have ever owned was a Maroon Clown, unfortunately to his own detriment, a 5 inch Maroon Clown may be able to bully a 2 inch Niger Trigger, until the 2 inch Niger becomes a 5+ inch Niger, then its lights out for the Clown.
Most "aggressive" fish I have owned is an Achilles Tang.

The most aggresive fish that I have right now is my undulated trigg also. I recently had to take a eel out of the tank because every time he came out of the cave he would get attacked. there is a picture of him on my icon. Mine also made me draw blood because i was cleaning the tank and out of no where he came up it took a nice chunk out of my arm.

Holy Cow! That is your Undy in the picture??
Look at the size of those teeth....Ack!! Remind me not to have one of those...
Yes, those undulated triggers have some huge teeth for their size.
Also I do not think mine was defending it's tank mates I just think he thought whatever I threw in the tank was food.

My most agressive fish is my Niger Trigger. He almost killed my maroon clown which was much bigger, harassed a lawnmower blennie, now chases around my yellow wrasse and queen angel. If he keeps it up, I might have to give him away.

The triggers Tail is like a yellowish greenish.
heres a couple more pictures of her
I definitely want one...I guess I'll have to wait.
Btw...if you turn on your lights and take pictures without the flash, they should turn out much clearer and without the flash in the background.
