Trigger Compatibility

Will-
You may want to PM StephenA on the trigger issue. I think he's done some extensive research on them, and is well informed.
When we had our 135G FOWLR tank, we had a Picasso trigger, but no other triggers. He had the *coolest* personality, and seemed to be the policeman of the tank - always keeping the peace. As far as the Clown triggers, I've read that they can have a real Jekyll and Hyde personality - amiable for many months, then suddenly turning nasty (nipping and killing their tankmates). They've even been known to attack their owners, and they get BIG. Max. full grown length is 19.9 inches :shock:
Mortality rates for small juvies is rather high.

I have kept several Clown triggers for 12 years, I keep them for two years and trade them in for a small juv. because they get too aggressive. My latest Clown is at Aquatics Warehose on consignment. He kept my 10" Queen Angel from eating, just like the last two. I saw a clown once with a Emp. Angel that the person had for 6 years and had raised them from Juv. status and they did great together. Good luck on your choice they are the best looking and have the best personality towards the owner, fish there is!
