New Tank

TANDREU · 06-02-2007, 10:28 AM

I have a 60 gal tank that I will be converting into a more aggressive style tank. I currently have a yellow tang and a small snowflake eel. I was looking into adding a trigger(huma huma/niger) and possibly one more fish. would this work in this tank? I know eventually they would outgrow the tank.

Anysuggestions for the last fish and or different triggers?

A yellow tang will, like you said, eventually outgrow that size tank as will a trigger. I can tell you from my experience that niger triggers are one of the least aggressive triggers so if you choose to add one, that wouldn't be a bad choice. I kept one in a 60 with a clown, damsels, and a diadem dotty back once; I think the diadem was more aggressive than the trigger.

I would skip the trigger as corrado mentioned. I would personally go with a dwarf lion species of sorts (or maybe an antennata lion) and either a dwarf angel or some sort of medium-sized wrasse.
