The Niger Triggerfish is a striking addition to my tank. Its vibrant colors and long streamers are impressive. I’ve kept it in a 75-gallon tank with proper hiding spots and it’s been calm since setup. It’s not overly aggressive, which fits my beginner-level aquarium.

Great coloration and presence. I noticed it occasionally brushes against soft corals, so I’ve added more rock cover. It’s active but not destructive. The size is larger than expected, so I made sure my tank is spacious enough.
