Undulated Triggers?

What can they be housed with or do they need a tank of there own? I know a few people have returned them at the lfs I shop at because they say the are nasty and killed off tankmates.

Just make sure they are added last and the smallest fish by a lot.For example I have 2 in my 300 but they are both about 3 inches with fish that are 13 inches.Good luck and make sure you have a cave for him to live in.They are not very social and protect there territory, I would recommend a big tank like 180 or bigger.Hope this helps. They are one of the prettiest fish in the sea in my oppinion.

Thanks reefer334,
I haven't decided on one yet, but it would be going in my 250 once its done cycling. I kinda have my stocking list but since I have a few more weeks till I put anything in my tank I am still looking for diff. ideas. I know for sure I will be moving my Queen angel (4") and yellow tang (4")out of my 75 into the 250 and I will be getting a Clown Trigger, Miniatus Grouper, Niger Trigger and not sure what else. I like triggers but really don't want to turn my tank into a glass cage match. .

Consider that a really good hint It's something that reefer334 will most likely experience when his juveniles grow up.

Yea I thought about that to but 3 of them tried putting them in comm. tanks which is a no, and the other just buys fish to buy them no matter what the store says. More than likely I won't try. great looking fish thou.
