Are you recommending a niger which grows to 18 inches to the poster? I noticed that all of you have very large tanks.

Ummmm? look at the specimen size. 4-6 inch on the Sargassum triggers

That's the size they're being sold at. They can get to 14".

The Blue Chin would be a good choice, IMO.

Saragussum Triggers have an adult size of 25cm or roughly 9-10". Too big for a 90G. Triggers should be treated like large tangs when it comes to tank size. They are very active fish.

They also tend to get quite aggressive when kept in small tanks. The more room they have, the more peaceful they will be.

I have a Blue Chin, no problems other than being a bit of a pig when it comes to feeding time.

Same with mine. No problem in my 125g with any inverts or other fish, other than the fact they are pigs.

My Sargassum triggers are 3inch now so in a year i'll try to dig up this thread and re post the sizt then, see what kind of growth rate people can expect.
