500 gallon stocking question ( new additions)

[Faisal27]

Hello,
Currently my tank is tang heavy and want to add a few triggers to complete with the livestock and start to focus on corals ..
Question ?
Anyone heave any experience with adding two pairs of triggers together and how there behavior may turn out ?

Pair of bluethroat triggers
Pair of crosshatch triggers

Tank is 10 by 2.5 by 2.5

If added at the same time, there should be no issue. I'd make sure there is a size difference between the pairs to allow them to more easily establish a pecking order. The blue throats are very shy at first and will most likely hide for a few days before coming out. Tangs can be very aggressive towards new comers so leaving the lights off for 1-2 days upon introduction may be a good idea.

Yeah true .. do you mean a pair bigger than the other pair or size difference within the pair ?

Ideally, both. There should be a natural size diff between M and F, it would be helpful to have a size difference between the two trigger pairs as well since they are both plankton eaters with similar body shapes though the crosshatches get much larger.
