Niger Trigger

[Dez]

If you look at the TOTM link in my signature, there is a list of fish I have in the article.

If the fish is added after the shrimp you will probably be ok, but any shrimp, or snail added after are goners....

they are hit or miss from what people say most i have seen are actually fine in a reef, there are tales of them eating shrimp and bullying other fish, during feeding time most triggers are pretty dominant.

but mine was a saint as well for the couple of years i had him.

I have a 7" niger trigger and added a peppermint shrimp long after he was in the tank and the trigger never touched it.

How abot sand sifter goby after Niger?

I have one. He leaves the shrimp I ALREADY HAVE alone. Any new additions are gobbled up though. This includes fish. He nips at all new additions.

I just added a mandarin and 2 small ocellaris clownfish and a few small crabs and my niger does not touch any of these new addition. I guess no matter what people say, it is the toss of a dice and one must try it because each fish will behave its own way. They are very intelligent fish and with very different personality. MY guess was that a shy one would not be aggressive and I was right...it is not.

You got lucky, added a couple of shrimp and snails after my guy and he tore them apart, never touched the original guys though..weird.
