New tank

[eric18]

Ive been thinking about setting up a new agressive tank with a clown trigger, picasso and niger. What the smallest tank for these fish and could i just use ls and lr and if i need a filter what kind? any comments would be appreciated

I wanted a setup similar to yours, I had a 3.5" niger, a 3" picasso, and a 3" White line trigger. At first the white line chased around the picasso, but after about 1.5 weeks the picasso fought back and REALLY REALLY beat up the white line. My tank was a 65 and it didn't have live rock, so I guess it was just dumb judgment on my part. The picasso and niger never fought at all though. Even after a year the two never bothered one another.

Triggers are very territorial fish. they need lots of space. Usually you do not mix triggers. That's usally. If you do try allow a lot of space!
About the filteration if you get a deep sand base (dsb) more than 4inches of live sand and get you some live rock 1 ppg that's a biological filter you would not need a external filter. If not ther are many filter options for you I personaly use a wet/dry.
Hope I can help.
