You need to Lear more about Niger triggers. I gave had them before. Not aggressive at all.

I found that my bully clown calmed down. Occasionally chases some. But I got a free Niger Triggerfish yesterday from my LFS. With the Niger, they clown bully has stopped 100%. Nigers are the most peaceful of triggerfish. They keep yo themselves and spend alot of time swimming the length of the tank.

My mistake. It about 49" x 19". But the chasing hasn't been relentless. It occasional maybe for a duration of a min. And everyone gets to eat. They have their own place to sleep. No signs of stress like heavy breathing, swimming at the top or bottom, lying down. None of that. I have had them...
