What can live w/ my Trigger?

[willsmith1]

I have a Niger Trigger and I am wondering what fish I could keep with him that he won't kill. He is about 4" long and has teeth. Thanks

Nigers are pretty passive as triggers go. I kept 1 for a couple of years & even had shrimp in the tank. He never ate a shrimp or crab.

A simillar size yellow tang , i have two clowns , one yellow tang, one blue damsel, one copper banded butterfly, one lawnmower blenny, one scooter blenny, and one c banded shrimp the only issues i have are my niger sometimes eats a hermit crab or two but hes fun to watch, whenever i aproach the tank and he has a crab in his mouth he drops it and acts like a dog that knows hes in trouble and plays it off, its quite cool

or will someone end up dead?

What size tank?

 

[mickela]

tank is a 48 gallon bow front

 

[reef noob]

the trigger can get up to twenty inches

i don't know about twenty inches. max in the ocean is 18". regardless, not a good specimen for a 48 gallon tank.
