Personally, i wouldn't be putting a trigger fish in anything smaller than a 150 gallon tank.

They are extreemly active fish, and like lots of swimming space. I just don't feel that a 70 gallon tank can provide the optimal environment for such a fish.

untrue and unfair. no trigger should go in a tank less then 120G..They are very active fish as mentioned above and would probablly appretiate more swimming room. and yes nigers get 18"
