bad news and now some good news

[turbo21]

i haven't been on in about two weeks but listen to the luck we have had.
our blind niger trigger died the other day, we have had him for two years and we have had to hand feed him every meal, since we transferred everything to the 390, the other fish would still any food we fed him. then the following day our bluethroat trigger decided to go carpet surfing for the fourth time, problem was that we were away for the day, it was not a pretty smell to come home too.
next, we recently added a port jackson about a month ago, the other day our huma trigger and our paddle fin( the first fish we ever bought) decided that they didn't like the new shark, so they took a couple small chunks from his fin, and they are now residing back at the lfs.
now for the good news, the pj's fins are healing, and i am going to pick up a banded shark egg tnight, he looks really good and active , andf probably has about a month before he hatches.
just though you'd like to here our horror stories
4 fish gone in 3 weeks
i think we are gonna keep away from triggers in the future , too much to risk, i hate seeing fish with battle wounds.

i lost my clown trigger, no idea why eather it sucks

 

[turbo21]

i am pretty sure it was from starvation, when we would feed by hand , as soon as he would swim away, the other fish would steal it from his mouth,
my girlfriend and i just got married at the end of june , and we are expecting our first child in jan. and there has been so much else going on we just didn't notice him wasting away.

sorry for your loss, but sharks cannot go with triggers. this new shark will get chewed on too.

ther are no triggers left in the tank, we had a bamboo shark in there before with the triggers and the didn't bother him ever, they just did not like the pj

What happened to the huma huma?

 

[turbo21]

took him to the lfs for some credit

Yep, Triggers and Sharks don't mix well.

Yep, Triggers like to test out there strong jaws on smooth sharks . I hope you have better luck in the future
