Picasso Trigger and Ocellaris Clown

[icanfly012]

I have a pair of 1inch clowns in a 55 gallon tank. Would a 2-3 inch Picasso Trigger terroize the clown fish?

It might not when it is small but may when it gets older. I have a Bursa trigger in a 75 with 2 blue/ green chromis and so far they get along great. The bursa is about 2.5 inches long and the chromis is about 1.75 inches long. How ever i do think that in time the trigger will eat my chromis's. Also the 55 will probley be ok for short term but will be to small when the picasso gets adult size.

How long is short term?

Hard to say. I have a good size Humu @ about 5-6" in with 4 or 5 damsels and he doesn't bother any of them....

Just depends on the fish I guess...

i think you should be okay cause i too have a 5in picasso with a pair of ocellaris clowns and ive never had any problems.

They should be fine with maroons for life but not with ocellaris.

Picasso is not too overly agressive, but it is a good idea never to trust a trigger that feels cramped or underfed. ...and their idea of cramped or underfed are probably not the same as your are.

as long as you keep the huma well fed he'll leave them alone, in a 55 he probably won't grow as quick as he could if he was in a bigger tank,so he should leave them alone.

I have 2 percula clowns in my 125 with a niger trigger a humu(picaso)trigger and a bursa trigger . theres absolutly no aggression twards the clowns . They get right up in the mix and fight for the food at dinner time . keep the picaso fed good and get a bigger tank your going to need it for the trigger.

I think anything other than plain text posts should be frowned upon. Kind of like how its frowned upon to ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS ALL OF THE TIME AND NOT USE PUNCTUATION BECAUSE ITS HARD TO READ WOW.
