tank size for a trigger

[fishguy4]

i love the niger trigger. how big of a tank does he need?

 

[cope787]

at least 70 gallons for them to feel comfortable.

Niger triggers get 50cm, Queen triggers get 60cm. People on here say the min for a queen is 240g so i would thing a niger would need maybe 200g.

yeah i would go a little bigger than a 55 or 75 like fishy88 said. they get huge

lol, except that fishy didn't say to go a "little bigger" That's atleast a hundred gallon differnce. LMAO

I have a 4.5" one in a 90 and it seems like a great size for it right now. When it gets large i'm going to get rid of it or upgrade though. I dont think putting a niger over 7 inches in a 90 will cut it.

fishy is right I saw one that had to be at least 17in at my lfs and it looked crampt in their 240g tank. No way could it live in any thing less then a 180g. It was huge.
