Multiple Triggers

[rt101]

Good day Guys.
Would like thoughts on 4 or 5 triggers in one tank.\
I have a Yellow margin and a Picasso in my tank and would like to add a
Clown and a Blue Gold with them.
There is also a big lion keeping them fro fighting.....

Please advise.

I am a firm believer that if your fish are well fed and have lots of hiding places you should be fine, I have fish in my 125 gal (little tank) that should not be together but have never had any issues..I would think that you should be fine in your lake, haha

Clown triggers can be nasty s.ob.'s lol so there I would be iffy

yes, totally agree, I have a Picasso trigger and he is a perfect gentlemen or lady..I also like the blue throat.

 

[jay0705]

Blue throat are nice

another nice trigger is the niger...very similar to the blue throat..

I have multiple triggers in my 300-gallon fish only tank (clown, blue throat, niger, and rectangle). They're all good with each other, I just keep them well fed.

totally agree, I truly believe that the secret is keeping them well fed, they don't have to hunt or fight for their food..

I have a 220 with a female blue jaw(4") Niger(4") black Hawaiian(6") female crosshatch(5") and male crosshatch(9"). For the most part all get along pretty good, every once in awhile the Hawaiian will give a little chase to one of the others but that's it

its risky but can be done.

just keep them fat lol and feed lots of food with a shell. i feed freeze dried shrimp with a twezeer daily to keep their teeth down so minimal damage is done if there is a fight.
