The starry was half the size of the mappa and now he's twice the size of him. I was worried about him at first.

Awesome puffers and triggers. But things will get out of hand when they grow larger. Im sure you already know this and have plans for each :D . But they all are beautiful though. Btw, those are my fav 3 triggers. I had one of each over the years. Ended up tradin them off because of the moving I had to do.

Have plans for the puffers planning on keeping the triggers though. I've never seen a captive clown trigger grow larger than 10 to 12 inches. And the other two won't get larger than 8 inches.

Lucky guy to have a mappa make it. they are a very hard puffer to acclimate into a aquarium. mine made it about 3 weeks. :( I will say the same as another said that they will eventually cause problems together. I have a s&s and porc that dont get along at this point when it comes to feedings so Im getting a second tank to separate them. Odd thing is, this is the second porc (the first died of a bacteria infection) but the first one and the s&s were inseparable, never once had a fight. The new one, just not the same.
