Fine Dining Recipe for a Niger Trigger

That sucks, but lesson learned.

Brings back bad memories of when my Niger took a big chomp out of the dorsal area of my clownfish. I had to eventually euthanize the clown.....mistakenly thought that Niger triggers wouldn't attack similar sized tankmates.

So much for that Trigger being peaceful. Amazingly enough, he doesn't bother anyone else.

not as bad as when i first started reefing and bought a helfinger gobie(when i had more money than brains)-lasted 30 seconds-my male bird wrasse had a nice light snack

Are the Niger Triggers (correct spelling this time, Christy!) notorious for devouring small fish? He is only about 4" long. Should I consider getting rid of him? It would be sad if I had to - he is one of my favourite fish!

my niger trigger was fine around my neon gobies and my chromises-1 1/2 " long

i think everyone with predators has a story simmilar to this
mine involves a 5 inch tobacco basselet going missing and a banded cat shark with a fat belly
