They are more aggressive and larger than blue throats. Would not recommend them for that size tank. I saw very large ones at my local aquarium

i think you are on about the Hawaii ones they get large indian are small maxing out at 9-10" same as the blue throat i actually think these are smaller as bluethroats can get to 12"

everywhere recommends them for 75-100 gallon tanks

A 10 inch fish in that size tank is massive. I would not put a trigger in that size at all, they get aggressive when they are stressed and it would be stressed in that size tank

I dont recommend yellows for 4’ tanks at all 😂 but yes people on the internet do. As cheese said above, blue throats are probably best temperament wise if you are dead set on a trigger. Triggers tend to get triggered and go nuts if they dont like their environment. Some are just too aggressive to keep with other fish at all. Black triggers are more aggressive too in edition to size.

How is your little snowflake doing by the way?
i think ur thinking of the wrong person :p i don't have a tank setup yet haha been delayed by 1 week i'm gonna get a banana i was gonna get a japanese dragon but everywhere i been reading they get too big for a 4' tank so gonna get the banana and it looks like ill be getting this dude they have had him for over 1 year so i guess he will still be there when i'm ready to get him should be use to captivity now they said he is very docile so maybe i can have some none aggressive medium sized tank mates with him/her.Might even wait till black friday and snag 20% off
