fish compatibility

most probably, it's ok as long as there's lots of hiding spaces.

i would expect this trigger to be boss pretty soon though.

when i introduce large fish, i put a piece of egg crate in the tank and
wedge it in to make a partition. i leave it in for up to a week and watch
what kind of interactions they have.

I have an opportunity to get a picasso trigger for a great price. Trigger
is about 5-6" long.
Question is whether this would get along with the tanks current residents.
Or if it's just asking for trouble.
Current tank residents are a dogface puffer about 6" long,
a lunare wrasse about 4" long, a locally caught croaker also about 4", and
a
niger trigger about 4-5". Tank is a 160 gallon 84"L x 18"W x 24"T
typical
filtration wet/dry, skimmer and a 25 W UV. about 100 lbs rock and
decorative coral. Tank is established for about 1 year.

Am I asking for trouble adding a Picasso to this group, it's a beautiful
fish and good size probably about an inch maybe inch and a half bigger
than
the niger who is the current boss of the tank.

Thanks in advance
