And what are its tankmates? We are thinking of purchasing one and don't want this to be the only fish in the tank. Thanks for the info.

Hi,
Yeah, so no replies, yet. Big suprise. Clown triggers are probably the most aggressive fish I've ever seen. Before you get one, find somone wh has an adult version. I will put my own tank on the line and bet that the front of their tank is all scratched up from the teeth of the trigger and the constant grinding of his jaws against the front of the tank. Unless you've got an EXTREMELLY large tank, you are going to seriously regret buying a clown trigger. Please, learn from the mistakes of others and don't give in to the neglect of the fish stores.

Yeah I know they aggressive but there are worse. (Undulate, Queen, Titan). At our LFS I've seen Picassos and Nigers act more aggressive then clowns he has had; our niger is a weenie but he had one that he had to remove and put in his 180 curing tank.....nasty. Although these fish are know to have a jekel and hyde mentality we'll have to see. There's a guy on grimreefers who has an undulated, clown, niger, picasso, cosshatch, damsels and some other fish in his tank and has had no problem. The fish are well fed in a large tank which probably give them less room to get bored and start fighting. We were thinking of a clown,picasso and a dotty that is larger than the two. They would be going in our 90GL. then into our 180 when they get bigger.
