Niger Trigger

[Sam Theis]

How big do niger triggers get? And what size tank do they need?

 

[fishcatch22]

they get to about 20" and 180 gallons is the smallest i've ever seen anyone keep an adult in.

I have a Niger Trigger and every where that I've read that they get about 12" I think 20" is a little two large. With that said some triggers do grow to that size

 

[BIGgourami]

yeah i don't know about 20", maybe in the wild, but all the stories i've heard about captive ones were about a foot.

 

[Reefscape]

I would agree with the above, the average aquarium grown is about 12"

 

[Magpen]

Yeah, I've only seen full grown ones about 12". I would say minimum tank size of 90 gallons IMO.

i saw a documentary about a lady free diver who swam past one and it was about the size of a small car

That trigger was a Titan trigger.

I did read that they might get 20" in the wild, but I agree with the above that they get about 10" to 12" in captivity.
