Actually, it's a blueline Trigger. I have a 45 gallon tank, not very big. This morning he was still hanging in there, just kind of hiding at the bottom of the tank. I'm a novice, so I'm not sure what you mean by parameters. I kept him in the bag for 20 minutes before I let him out. He is actually the third trigger I've purchased. The other 2 (clown) died within an hour. I live in NEw jersey, I got it from "Ocean Aquarium". They make NO guarantees and are very difficult to deal with. I would like to get my fish/supplies somewhere else. Does this place ... saltwaterfish.com really fedex fish?

How do you think a pet store in New Jersey gets fish from the Pacific ocean?

Unfortunately, a blue line trigger is not a community fish or one that can be kept in a 45gal tank. Also do a search for acclimating procedures for marine fish. I would post a link for you, but that's not allowed here.

LOL
Not just fish, but corals, clean up crew, macroalage, inverts, u name it.....and alot of other online places do it too, but some are better than others.....swf.com is pretty good. I just got a coral shipment from california & wisconsin this morning, and got them in a coral quarantine tank now....I've spent way too much in the last 30 days on mostly corals, and a couple fish...lol
and by water parameters, salinity/temp/ammonia/nitrates/nitrite levels....&......how long since your tank cycled.....how much liverock/livesand????? We need info to help.

is that the fish store in Pleasantville nj? if so.... they are right around the corner from me and i use them all the time and have no problems with them or their fish. i did purchase a huma trigger from them, that died 3 days after, so i brought it back with a water sample, water was perfect...they couldn't explain it....the fish wasn't beat up either... so they gave me another huma for 1/2 price. and that fish is still alive and happy... almost 2 years later. this is in a 55 gallon tank... i think you have to deal with only the one guy....the younger guys are a little rude at times and don't seem to care too much....just want to make a sale...but the on older guy that owns the store....kinda a hippy....but he knows his stuff...!!!
