    Ive been hearing mixed accounts and would like to know if it unsafe to put large angel fish and triggerfish in the same tank. Specifically is it going to be a disaster to put a French angel and a pair of niger or blue chin triggers in a 240g tank?

    How big are the triggers? With those shaped fins, I would be careful

    IMO a 240 is a bit on the small side for such a large Angel. I wouldn't combine the two species anyway though.:(

    Most angels and triggers good together. Clown trigger is the bad boy.

    Nope. Undulated triggers are straight up evil

    Forgot about that bad boy. I don't even think of him as a trigger. Devil would be the more appropriate species.
