Has anybody seen small nigers in there lfs? I mean like 1-2". I was thinking about putting one in my tank and I wanted to get a small one so that I could watch it grow. I also heard that they are pretty hardy and on the less agressive side of the triggers.

I saw some niger triggers that size in my lfs. They are usually nice, but some people on this bb got some bad apples, and yes they are extremely hardy.

imo nigers are one of the more agressive triggers. i think that picassos, blue throats, hawaiin blacks are much nicer. some nigers can be super docile though. as for size factor, if your lfs cant get you a small one, look around on the net. they usually carry all sizes of the fish, so you could get a small one if you wish. bo

Yes, I have seen small ones... you would, as you said, have to get rid of it though with a 40. Or else upgrade. From what I have seen they are definitely on the mellower side as far as triggers go.

OK Grouperhead... maybe the few I have known were pansies? LOL
I swear the ones my friends have had were all kind of scaredy cats. Just goes to show you I guess, that you can never really tell the behavior by the breed.

funny you should ask that i just bought one at my lfs and is awsome it would be dosile if it wernt for my pigmy angel but the niger showed him that he was small but packs a big bite. now they are all getting along fine. got the niger cheap to of course i pitched a @!#%$ with the owner about holding it for some one. The owner of my LFS had no idair this was even going on in his store. GET this he asked me if i wanted it i said yes of corse and he gave it to me for 1/2 price.12$ can you believe it.
sorry for the long post but i had to tell someone. :D :D :D
