Niger triggerfish personality?

I have found that there is nothing like small dither fish to make the larger fish braver, maybe add something like a few chromis or flasher wrasses. I wouldn't add any more large fish to the system, it's only 75g after all

Adding chromis is adding a snack

That's an expensive lunch. I don't want to motivate the trigger to go hunting either, I just want him out more. He's out more and more now. It's strange that a large fish in the tank is really changing his behavior but those small pajama cardinals and my clownfish never made a difference.

Seams that in is case, the effect is really with a larger fish. I think I will keep it as it is for now and watch how things evolve because he's coming out more and more since I introduced the foxface.

Not 6" in 7 months. He was about 4" when I got him. he's 7" to 8" more or less with the tail included. That's an approximation of course.. I did not took it out of the water and put against a ruler.
