    In the last 4 months I have lost my 6 year old hippo tang and recently my Kole Tang. They were murdered. All I have left is my old yellow tang and my Niger Trigger. He is now 5 " long and has nasty red teeth that are protruding from his mouth like a bull dog. My yellow tang is constatly in hiding now. What would happen if I introduced another Trigger species like a Picasso? Would a Lion fish be tolerated or left alone? My tank is 90 gal corner bow front LR with softies only. My last resort would be to trade him, but I don't want to do that unless it is the only resort left.

    To start off your tank is a bit small for a niger trigger, they get quite large. I don't think putting another trigger in there is a good idea.
