Do you own a Niger Trigger? Post here!

Thanks Ruth!

So far, the Niger sounds like a somewhat peaceful citizen and would do fairly well in a mixed reef. I currently only keep: 2 True Percs, 1 Yellow Watchman, and 1 Lawnmower Blenny.

Hmmm... I'd love to hear from others, so keep them coming. I'm going to see if anyone in Calgary has any of these guys in (if you've seen one around town, shoot me a PM if you could.)

Thanks again

Had one for almost a year in my 150. Did not nip a clams or corals. The only thing it couldn't resist was an overturned snail. Was also really rough on new acquisitions.

I brought him back to the store in favour of some more peaceful residents (fairy wrasses). The main reason was I wanted the wrasses but didn't want a larger bio load, so off he went.

They are a nice fish, but need a big tank, and can be a little rough around the edges.

Yeah after doing further research (Thanks to our lovely new reference library ) I read that the Niger's can be kind of hit and miss in terms of agression. Some can be big bullies, while others not so much...

I hate being in the situation of "do you chance it.. " I definitely don't want any agression going on with the clowns and other fish I currently have. But, having said that.. if he starts becoming a menace I can remove him and put him in my empty 20g ...

Decisions , decisions....

What are the feeding requirements?

From my understanding, live food would be a bonus for these guys (small crabs, snails...) But from my readings it seems good meaty foods, and even greens are eaten by them.
