What kind of trigger?

I've had a trigger fish leap out of his tank and smack me in the face before..

they are jumpers..

Most trigger species are much too aggressive to keep with smaller, more sedentary fish. I'd be afraid for your lil puffer.

He doesn't even look twice at my puffer. He snaps his teeth sometimes at the Foxface but they are the same size and the Foxface can hold his own. I've never seen the trigger bother my puffer. Or the trigger would be sold. My puffer is my baby.

I'm sure the trigger isn't a full grown 10" adult yet?

No but he's up there...6 or 7 inches at least. IV never once seen aggression between those two. They all pretty much mind their own business. My thing is keep everyone fat and happy. And if a problem arises I'll deal with it then.
