Niger Trigger, in a reef tank?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I might be a little worried about the nassarius snails cause they aren't very big, but they only really venture out of the sand at feeding time and at night so they might be okay. I'll keep my eye out for a small niger trigger around town.

We have/had 1 about 2 1/2" at the shop. Not sure if Kev sold it this week or not.

They get very, very big too. Another thing to remember.

Yeah, got my juvenille niger in a 46 g, then in a year or so we'll upgrade for sure!

I was planning on buying a juvenile and he would go into my 190g. He would be fine in there. If he did get to big I would have to part with him (or get a bigger tank

).

Thanks for all the replies

Probably would be fine for a long time in your 190G...they grow very slow. My brothers has reached about 16" now and is very active so needs a lot of space. I think its taken about 5 years though to hit the 16" mark.

I had a male blue throat in my reef tank he was very docile towards everything and much nicer then a niger. But Get a male the female are kinda bland
