2 Blue Throat Triggers?

[callum]

Hi, i was wondering if i could fit a male blue throat trigger and a female blue throat trigger(Xanthichthys auromarginatus) in a 75-80gal tank.

If they're small, it could work as a temporary home for a couple of years before a larger set-up is done.

It would also depend on how the tank is aquascaped. As planktivores, they'll spend a lot of time in the water column. So, a tank with a lot of live rock and very little swimming space, wouldn't be ideal.

Here's a couple of helpful articles on the genus:
