Niger Triggerfish aggressive?

its WAY stocked..thats why i have the massive skimmer on it (rated for a 300G tank)

Humu Humu
Bursa
Volitian Lion
Panther Grouper
Valentini Puffer
3 Damsels
Chocolate Chip Star

when everyone grows up and i feel they are not comfy anymore, i plan on trading em out for baby fish again

 

That would be your choice, but would u rather see food ate whole or food ATTACKED! lol....feeding time is ALWAYS something to watch on that tank

 

ok so maybe a trigger. how long would i have with a bursa before it needs traded in?

 

not real sure...probably at about 6"....i have had my bursa for about 4 1/2months and it eats like crazy..but he hasnt really grown much..so i'm guessing it takes them a while to grow

 

i might get one, bursa OR huma huma. not both, but i cant decide ARRRGGG!

 

my fish are so used to me that i have to watch putting my hand in the tank...they will try to eat me!...even the Damsels...they think they are triggers..but at least the damsels dont have teeth! lol

 

They are both awesome little fish!....The Humu Humu is the state fish of Hawaii, so that can make it a conversation piece....the bursa has a red line on its face that is really striking to look at...personality wise they are about the same...once they get used to you, they will start grunting at you when you come near the tank...and wag their bodies like they are dogs

 

ill go bursa since it stays a little smaller. but i want to give the lionfish time before the trigger goes into the tank with the lion.

 

the quicker they go together, the less territorial they will be toward each other...just remember that your dealing with natural killers...the faster they go together the less chance of a fight

 

yea but the dwarf lion is tiny right now. and i dont have enough money for both right now. the lion ill have in a few days, hes 2 inches so he'll go in the 10 gal for a few days, just long enough to get the 55 setup with live sand, filters, mangroves, and macro algae, then i wait for rock, then i get more fish.
