Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - Are Groupers and Triggers to aggressive for my tank?

Both of these fish grow WAY to big for a 55g. I have a picasso, clown trigger, porcupine puffer, snowflake eel, and a grouper in a 150g and they are indeed growing pretty quickly, especially the grouper. Before the end of the year, they will be living in a 360g, 8 foot long tank. Even that may not be big enough for these.

Unless you are planning on a VERY large upgrade in the very near future, I would advise against adding any of these fish to your tank. Within a year, your snowflake will probably end up eating your other fish. I won't be surprised, in a year, if you say your snowflake is well over 2 feet in length.
