I have had mine for a couple months and she is doing great. She is with a humu trigger and get along fine. Although from what I have read, this seems to be unusual. They are apparently pretty mean. I think mine is nice bc she was beaten to be nice. At the lfs she was in one of their small tanks with a 9" clown trigger and a 10" grouper.

My queen is about 8", but she was definatly not the alpha in the tank.

When i've seen grown Queen Triggers, they are always in a tank by themselves, moving giant rocks around like monsters. I don't know this for fact, but I think they will eventually have to end in a tank all by themselvs. I really dig their look, and if I could, I would have a tank with that as the only fish, if it was necessary.

Mine is a little under 7" with streamers and is pretty much like the rest of the mild aggressive fish in the tank. Check back a couple of pages and you'll see a thread I started about the queen and the cleaner shrimps with it.

In a 300g tank a 10" clown eventually killed a 16"+ queen, they are aggressive but it can be mitigated, A very, very large tank is necessary to keep them happy in adulthood.
