![]() Looking for opinions on housing together in a 180g 6' tank a Picaso Trigger and a pair of Blue Cheek male/female Triggers. The Picaso is the current inhabitant and the new additions will be the Blue Cheek(Throat) Triggers. I have not found anything online saying no to the houing of them just to be cautious as they like all fish may not like each other but hey how would the odds be of most Humans being compatable in an area of equal size.
![]() ![]() Thanks for the opinions Im sure to get!!!! |

![]() I think your asking for trouble. It might have been okay the other way but it won't surprise me if we see a post in the future with either the blue throats forsale, the Picasso forsale or worse dead blue throats.

![]() Would this be Experiance talking Ryan or just a guess? I should mention the Picaso is about half the size of the Blue Throats and very submissive to the other tank mates even during feeding time, the others are a Moray Snowflake - Cherub angel - Large Scopas Tang - Small Lionfish and a cleaner wrasse plus the usual assortment of snails and hermits and shrimp. Thanks for the input thus far!

![]() Your lionfish or eel will make your angel lunch one day. Both can open their mouths very wide when they want to.
As for mixing triggers, I have no personal experience, but had researched into mixing different types as I have a blue throat(trying to get 2 to pair up right now). It seems like it is pretty hit and miss, sometimes working, sometimes not. It is a risk, but sometimes, depending on the fish, it can work. You do have a larger tank and the current trigger is smaller, so that is in your favor. Sorry for not giving a more clear answer, but it is similar to asking if dwarf angels are reef safe. Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and even if it is yes, it can change in the future.
