did he spin all the way around becuz my undulated trigger does like a half barrel roll sometimes. for mine its mostly a show of agression. if hes healthy almost anything he does is "normal" becuase clown and undulated triggers are the most aggressive threir also act the wierdest.

also what size tank and occupants? to small of a tank may cause him to act cramped

he spun all the way around, right now he is in a 90 with a domino and a blue lip tang. i know this tank is small but it is just a holding tank until i get my 300 gal up and running. do you think that the roll( hes only done it once) is agression. he doesnt seem stressed at all

i cant really say if it aggression, all triggers are very strong and fast swimming fish with lots of personality maybe he was just having fun or showing off.

triggers are slow growing fish anyways most only grow an inch or so a year so the 90 should be fine as long as hes no bigger than 3 or 4 inches.

my clown trigger has done this too and seems fine. It has always happened after feeding and he has a big belly..so i don't let him eat to that point and he doesn't do it. Don't know if it is normal but i don't like seeing my prize fish doing such an odd move
