Picasso Trigger or Niger trigger
So I cannot decide!
Which one would you go with? 60 gallon tank .... What tankmates would you choose? Thanks! |

In a 60 I'd go with the picasso. Tankmates, hhhmm, I like maroon and tomato clowns. They should be able to hold their own with a picasso.

I would say a 60 gallon is to small for either of those fish. I have a Niger in my 135 and wouldn't go any smaller than that.

I would go with the picasso. You might get away with the niger for a while if purchased small. I have owned 3 niger triggers including 1 i have now and they and they do not do much swimming.

The picasso is a slow grower. If purchased as a small juvenile it should be ok for a year or so. I do agree that the tank is too small for much longer than that. Seems like a good excuse to upgrade to me.

Both those fish will get entirely too big for that tank.

Tank is too small for either, If you don't have a tank upgrade within a reasonable reach skip on those triggers.
