Picasso Trigger

I don't really see a problem with your plan. Many people keep Picasso's in 55g tanks. I don't necessarily agree with this practice, but it works for some people. You should be okay with the 75.

Hehe, if he hasn't started yet get ready for a cloudy tank for a while. I have 4 friends with these guys and they all have dug in the sand quite a bit. My clown trigger does in my tank as well periodically. This group just loves playin in the sand I think

Agreed that the tank size is fine. Triggers in general tend to move around sand to their liking, partly out of searching for food and partly just according to the way they like things. (If I level out the sandbed in my undulate's tank, within an hour he's blown it back into his preferred sand dunes).

Just as an aside, realize that a trigger is going to pick that LR pretty clean. It will still be a great biological filter, but any sessile or mobile inverts that hitchhiked into the tank are now on the menu.

Hey Boogie, I have noticided that triggers love to move around the decor more than any other trigger. My 4 inch Undulated has all the aragonite in the center of the tank and his little "race track" along the outside of the tank. I put a 3 inch Damsel with him, and he cowers to the damsel. This just shows how aggressive Damsels are!

could you keep 2 picassos in a 75g?

I wouldn't attempt two triggers in your tank. Maybe at smaller sizes it might work, but even IF they got along when mature, two fish of that size and their eating habits would put alot of strain on the tank.

excellent advice, thanks!

Agree with Boogiechillin, that Picasso is a fun fish, but forget about anything interesting growing on the live rock. The Trigger will keep them relatively void of growth save some algea.

New forums appear to work great and very user friendly.
