clown trigger tank mates

[Tod Howard]

Sooo, plan was to purchase Picasso trigger but ended up with clown trigger. That complicated the purchase a few tank mates. To start, they will be in a well cycled 90gal. If tank works out in my office I am prepared to increase size(have a 300gal mixed reef at house).

I know the CT may end up solo but I'm going to give the opportunity to be a team player. I grabbed a yellow tang already. Id like to add an angel and Cuban hog. Is this a workable group?

Maybe, the ct can be pretty aggressive at times. The tang and hog should be ok. I'd be careful with an angel especially larger species as a 90 won't be enough room

First off I'd QT the clown with the other fish you buy. I treat all my fish regardless with prazipro and cuppramine. Keep every one well feed.I had a clown trigger, emporer angel, and a coris wrasse in a 20 long for treatment. They all did fine, and were all about 3in.

This clown is 3" arshole. It is in qt with a number of fish and is being pretty aggressive. I thought it might settle in a day or two but it looks to be escalating. I'll have an empty 40 qt next week, just hope other fish can hold out until then.

I was leaning towards Koran angel but not sure if it is aggressive enough. Regarding tank size, I fully expect to move to a 300+ if tank works logistically in office.

300 is a great size tank. Its some work and $ but well worth the investment for what u can put in there. Ive got 25 fish and plenty of coral and inverts in mine and i cant keep my eyes off of it.
