What size tank is recommended for a niger trigger 75gal-200gal?

[JadeM]

I was wondering what size tank was recommended for a niger trigger? thanks

6' x 24" wide, depth isn't going to be a big deal, but within reason. He's gonna get up to a foot in length, he needs a bit of room.

180 gal. would be minimum, i.e. 6' x 2' x 2'.

I've always used liveaquaria. I believe their size recommendations are spot on. For the Niger, they recommend 180 gallon or larger.

The standard 180 is 72 1/2 x 24 1/2 x 25 5/8 inches.

do they grow fast as in like 4inches a year or something , I have heard people have them while they are small then upgrade the tank oh and yeah I always go by live aquaria

Liveaquaria recommendations!

It is stressful to the fish and impacts their organ growth. I like my fish and want them in the best environment I can provide.

The biggest you can comfortably afford. Ideally 6'+ length and 2' width and height.

would a 3 inch one be ok in a 5 foot until I get a bigger tank? and how fast do they grow thanks

 

[Reefing Madness]

All small fish will fit in the smaller tanks, just giving you a heads up, he's gonna get very big. The growth rate all depends on what you feed them and how often you feed them.
