triggers and aggresive tank?

how long can i keep a few small (1"-2") aggresive fish in a 55 gal? i want triggers, and i like wrasses hogfish and puffers.

 

im looking into getting a 90 or 115gal off craigslist which i think will be good for atleast a year if not longer. if im wrong let me know

 

I wouldn't suggest multiple triggers in a 90. I've owned triggers and had them housed in a 92 corner. My Niger, which was the largest and most territorial, often beat up on the others. Unless you plan for the least aggressive (even then, there's no guarantee it will be docile) of the species, the largest will most likely become the dominant and consistently harass the others. Best chances would probably come if they are purchased as juveniles.

I've owned:
Clown Trigger
Niger Trigger
Pink Tail Trigger
Blue Jaw Trigger
Picasso Trigger
Rectangle Trigger

 

im going to get them when theyre abt 2" long if not smaller. and i getting the 115gallon its 60x18x24

 

i was once attacked by a trigger fish whilst diving in the red sea, couldnt get rid of the bloody thing, had to get out of the water eventually, and even then it circled the boat for at least 10 mins, talk about super aggressive !

 

lol maybe you tasted good

 

heres a nice stocking plan for you
1 trigger fish (humu humu, niger, pink tail, bursa are good a clown trigger might outgrow a 115)
1 blue spotted puffer fish
1 pair of tomato maroon or clarki clown fish
then a choise of a snowflake eel or a small species of wrasse\hog fish
get a RO system and have heavy filtration to keep the tank clean!HTH!;D

 

im only keeping them in this tank untill i get my 240gallon tank
