Will they get along?

[xxnonamexx]

I have 2 Percula clowns, Powder Blue Tang, Coral Beauty Angel, 5 chromis, Blue Surgeon, 2 Bleenies, my friend is looking to sell 3 triggers (Huma Huma, Clown, Blue Niger) The sizes are comparable to my tang, I have a 120g FOWLR. these fish have not bothered any of his fish so I hope my fish will be safe. ANy suggestions.

Don't do it.
It's not a question of if, it's when.
The clown and/or huma huma WILL wipe out your percs, coral beauty, chromis and blennies. Guaranteed.
Niger should be fine.

I wouldn't recommend keeping any Triggers with the fish you listed.

I start SW tank 14years ago with mean fish , clown trigger will go after smaller fish then him. niger some time peaceful ,but the huma huma will destroy your tank at feed time, good luck if you put them in

How come some websites state the Niger: They are a great active fish for the more aggressive, fish-only display. I do not have an aggressive display so I don't think he will work out.

Niger can be, and usually are, some what aggressive. A lot of place sell them as being non-aggressive but that usually not the case, especially in the long run. As they get larger they usually become aggressive, this is the case with almost all triggers.

So smaller ones can work in reef tanks but they do get bigger and unless you have a very large reef tank it's best to keep them in Fowlr or FO tanks with more aggressive fish.

Thanks, I have a 120gal FOWLR and most community fish, I might add a porc puffer, and maybe anothe tang or Angel, if my Powder Blue died I would have turned to all aggressive since he is my boggest one and I don't want to lose my coral beauty angel or clowns lol
