I have a 90 Gallon FOWLR tank. I currently have a ~5.5 inch Niger Trigger, ~5 inch dog face puffer and ~ 5.5-6 inch Blond naso tang (Yes I know they will outgrow this tank and have plans in place.) The Niger trigger arrived first and the Blonde Naso and Dogface came the next day. (They have been in the tank about a month now) At the beginning the Trigger was picking on the puffer and even bit him pretty good on the cheek. After about 2 days of this, the puffer turned around and bit him back pretty good. Since then they have been getting along great. A couple days ago, I noticed what could have been a trigger bite on the side of the puffer but wasn't sure. Today I came home and noticed the puffer had what looked like a couple more bites, but he also had some marks that didn't look like teeth. I just added in two wave makers and although the trigger and tang seem to love them, the puffer isn't a fan- so I thought maybe he just got caught in a current and maybe scrapped against the rock. Then I saw the trigger go after him and bite him on his belly.
So if all of the new marks are actually bites, the trigger got him about 4-5 times tonight. He doesn't seem overly scared of the trigger and will swim by him, but he is definitely stressed. What could have caused this sudden burst of aggression from the trigger- only towards the puffer. Is there anything I can do to make peace? How long should I let them work it out (they did quickly before, but he also didn't get him so many times). Is there anything I need to do for the puffer and the bites?
