1.5inch huma trigger + 1.5inch sixline

happyface888 · 08/05/2007, 09:48 PM

A friend of mind has a 50gallon with a established 1.5inch huma, will adding a sixline be any problem? His tank is a FOWL. So there are lots of rocks. I would appreciate feed back so I can help my friend decide. Thanks

Edit: He also has a 100gallon tank downstairs, so dont bash me or him saying the triggers going to outgrow, which it is true. by than it will move to that other tank.

I wouldn't be surprised if the sixline got bullied. Maybe not right away, but definitely down the road. If you really want to try, remove the trigger, rearrange the rocks, add the sixline, and reintroduce the trigger a couple of hours later. Watch them closely and be prepared to remove one.

I bet they will be fine. I would always reccommend adding more than 1 fish at a time though. Feed the trigger with some of his favorite food before adding the new fish.
