I removed a Naso after he relentlessly took after a new female Crosshatch. The naso was always peaceful prior. I wasn't sure if I should reintroduce him or not. After 3 months of solitary in the sump I put him back a couple of weeks ago. He has been great since. I never changed the aquascape but it might be helpful. How big is the tank and how long has the niger been out of dt?

He has been removed for about a 2 wks and the tank is a 120 (48x24x24). You think I should wait another week and give it a shot?

I waited 3 months. I wanted the new triggers to have a chance to fully adapt to the tank and to put a little extra weight on to be in fighting shape, or to be able to withstand an extended period of hiding once the naso was reintroduced. Luckily the naso hasn't made one aggressive move and the triggers could care less that he is back. Granted this is the only time I have tried this but I would give it a shot with your trigger. Worse case is you will have to remove the niger again. I would wait until the Bluethroats are very comfortable with the new surroundings/routine. Good-luck.

I have taken dominent angels and other fish out when intraducing new fish.I would put him in a net pen suspended in the tank.I would leave him in there maybe2 to 4 days depending how the fish was handling it.Then release them back in the tank.It has worked for me 1oo%.If the bully fish acts up I would just show him the net pen.That would sure settle him down.Fish are like a pack of wild dogs.When you intraduce a new one they all have to find there new pecking order.Do you notice everybody starts nipping each other a little bit.Ps really big fish I would put in a appropiat tank for a few days.If you wait to long your problem fish might get picked on to much when you put him back in your mane tank

I think that things will be different when you put the Niger back in. Now, the Blue Throat is accustomed to the environment and won't be sending out "I'm intimidated" signals.
That's my theory, FWIW.
