trigger fish

Haha, saw it before I got your alert Vinny.

You could add a much smaller Niger, but keeping multiple triggers can be a problem down the road. Even the more docile triggers become more aggressive once the put on some size. Longer term, you can do it, but you would need a much larger tank. Large angels are similar, but even more aggressive to their own kind IME. An easier mix is one trigger one large angel one tang and a mix of smaller fish like wrasses, hawkfish or whatever.

If you do decide to try multiple triggers, it helps to have a spare tank to use for a time out if one needs an attitude adjustment. A week is usually good. It's also a good idea to have a re-homing plan if things don't work out.

The last thing is, I qt and treat every FOWLR fish from the start with copper and Prazi Pro. If you decide not to, and your fish get ich, you will have to treat the whole tank. Fish in a FOWLR system just don't seem to be able to "kick it", like fish in a reef tank sometimes do.

 

Is there any other peaceful triggers other than blue throats?

I can't imagine a full grown niger trigger in a 150, and yes they get bigger than a foot long. Try a pink tail since they max out about a foot or smaller, or maybe even a black trigger (not hawaiin since i think they get bigger). Those would be better triggers to go along with you blue jaw
