BEST FISH I got this fish yesterday and from the second I put him in he never hid he ate right away and has an amazing character

This is without doubt one of the prettiest fish that I had owned. I say had, because for the first two weeks he was great. Didn't mess with anything in my tank. Ate well, seemed very peaceful. Then one morning I came down to feed the fish, he killed my bicolor, cleaner shrimp, and tore apart my yellow head Gobi's tail. Fortunately my local Aquarium took him in. He lasted about 5 minutes then he sold. He was beautiful.

I have a Nigerian thats 12 years old and is a survivor of Hurricane Katrina - after 3 weeks with no electricity. He eats right out of my hand, very active and every bit the colors described. He is in a 90 gallon reef and gets along with 2 Cinnamon Clowns, Yellow Tang, 2 Blue Damsels, with numerous softies and 3 anemones.

I had heard horror stories so I was hesitant to add the Niger Trigger to my tank. It seems as though most reviews are from owners who recently acquired the fish so it's easy to say "he's great". Experience and a few casualties have taught me to let a significant amount of time go by before believing the fish is a good fit. All too often, a nice fish goes psycho after 6 months or a year and kills tank mates. My Niger is at the 6 month mark and so far so good. He tank mates are a Yellow Tang, Naso Tang, Scopus Tang, Sailfin Tang and a Blue Hippo Tang along with a File Fish, 2 Percula Clowns, Coral Beauty and Koran Angel and Yellow Watchman Goby with 100's of hermits and snails. The Niger was a little smaller than the others and they are all about the same size, except for the Hippo...she is huge. They live in a 250g with another 60 or so gallons of water volume in the sump. The other fish pushed him around a little so he could figure out the pecking order and after a day or so, everything was and has been fine. He is an awesome fish with tons of personality. Keeping my fingers crossed though because you never know

Have had mine for about 4 months. Amazing fish. Best of all, I have a full reef system, and this guy is absolutely the star of the show. Does not bother any of my corals or other fish. I have a scarlet cleaner shrimp which actually took care of his ich infection, so they are best buddies. I've only seen him attack something once - a hermit crab, not sure if the hermit survived but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make to have this gorgeous and playful fish in my tank. By far the best reef tank inhabitant I've had in my 15 years in the hobby. Glad I took the risk.
