Tankmates for Picasso Trigger

[FlyingDutchman]

Any ideas for good tankmates for a picasso in a 60 gal?

Lots of things will work as long as they are bigger or the same size. I had two puffers, a pacific blue tang, a cowfish and a lion with mine.

After I got my liverock I had to take him back to the store, he was very destructive to it and I couldnt have any inverts at all with him in the tank. It was a hard decision to make since I had him 3 years.

as for the cowfish, are they easy to keep, and is it true that if you scare it, it will produce a venom that will kill fish in the tank? because they look like a box look so cool

I would say basically anything that can't fit into his mouth!

I've never had any problems with my cowfish, heres a couple of threads that covered the subject.

I had a niger trigger and porcy puffer. Dwarf Lion depending on the sizes of the fish. Tangs, b&w heniochus.

I kept a Volitan Lionfish and Panther Grouper with a Picasso Trigger. They all got along fine.

Now doesn't a niger trigger get too large for a 60 gal? And I know the answer is probably no on this, but would an undulated trigger be too aggressive?

Also what about a porcupine puffer?

Porcy would work fine, I had a huma and a porcy together for a couple of years, no problems.

With My Picasso trigger I have a Velvet Damsel, Yellow Tail Damsel, Niger Trigger, and a Dog Faced Puffer.. They are in a 55g tank... So far no issues... I do about a 10% water change monthly with Oceanic... The Damsels were supposed to be food but so far they have been doing very well..

ive had a large volitan, a purple tang, a toby, a porcupine puffer, and a niger trigger in with mine in a 75 gallon

What do you guys feed your porcupine?

 

[Nitrate]

Fresh shrimp and scallops. Occasionally I feed him Krill.
