Tarasco,
I had one as well for a year before I gave him up for "adoption".
I kept mine in a 30 gallon tank for as long as I could..he was about 2 inches long when I got him and rapidly grew to about 5 1/2 inches. He also ate just about everything in the tank, but he never bit me. I gave him up because the 30 was my largest salt water aquarium and I couldnt justify keeping him in it by himself...not to mention it was just getting to big.
They are neat fish, tons o personality....and the temperment ofa rabid pitbull....
Another trigger that I persoanlly find more attractive and slightly less aggressive is the Fuscus or blue lined trigger....
Pretty much, triggers are a like, aggressive, big, meat eating fish. They dont care how much it cost you, or if it was the cutest thing in the world, its either lunch, or future lunch, (as soon as the trigger gets big enough). They don't play well w/ others.
Not real difficult to keep at all, (prolly couldnt kill em w/ a hammer if ya tried), just real difficult to keep w/ other fish.
Definately some of the most entertaining fish to keep in marine aquaria.
