    Hi there guys, I just had a quick question...Do you think a few Green Chromis would be ok with a Niger Trigger? My Trigger doesn't bother my Lawnmower Blenny at all, or any of my coral...he's pretty peaceful. What do you think?

    I have also had a niger trigger that was introduced in a FOWLR prior to a banana wrasse, and a flame back angel ( removed from reef for missbehaviour)


    this trigger bothered neither of them

    moved thread to tropical fish section

    I've had the exact situation in my 55 FOWLR and the niger trigger never bothered any fish.

    I have kept chromis with bluethroats (presently) and a pink tail a while ago, they were never a problem together. I think what ocean paradise is getting at is it depends on the individual personality of your trigger. some have niger triggers that are hyper aggressive, while others are calm as can be.
