hippo tang attacking a niger trigger

How did he killed the fish? with its tail cutting them alive or by terrorising them to they would stress, stop eating and die?

I would say a little bit of both. You will start to see the scars on your trigger from the tang's razor fins. Eventually, the other fish just go and hide and refuse to come out, even for food. Give it a week or so I say before any drastic measures need to be taken. The trigger just needs to realize that he is bigger.

Yes that's what I thought. A trigger is a trigger is a trigger He's new in the tank so I will see how he react after being at home for a while.

I just hope the tang does not hit the trigger eyes with his tail as the poor trigger is recovering from pop eye. Keeping the fingers crossed.
