Clown trigger

[Anonymous]

I have a 330L tank, am getting a sump in within the next 2 weeks, could i keep a clown and picasso trigger in the tank. Which one has the most personality, i have seen a picaso in a lfs tank and i really like them, it did not stop for the 10 min i was watching. I like the colour of the clown though. Has anyone found a clean up crew that could survive with these 2. If posible to do this i would buy them as juveniles and have them grow up in the tank together with clean up crew present. Am just worried about the trigger as i have read that they can turn over night and just kill everything in the tank. Any info greatly appreciated, thanks.

Touchy subject I have found small scarlett crabs can survive my niger trigger Fish as far as a clean up crew.I have a picasso Trigger with my two niger triggers.There is some agression sometimes but nothing serious picassos are fine.However clown Triggerfish have very nasty reps I have thought about getting one but have not yet.In a large tank they may do fine but they are agressive and have a rep for turning mean over night.

I have spoken to people who have said that they have had a picasso and they introduced it last and it has been ok, i konow that is no guarantee it will happen for me. However i have not spoken to anyone who has owned a clown trigger, i have only heard of there rep, as you say, they have been fine for months then overnight killed everything in the tank. I am seriously considering purchasing one at the end of my stocking with a picasso. They grow about 12 inch don't they? I found info from some guy on the onternet saying that he had both and that he had some coral in the tank and that they were fine together and that they had left the other fish alone. Thanks for the help, any more info greatly appreciated.
