clown trigger burried

[anamilasti]

ok, i heard that a clown trigger, or any trigger for that matter will burry themselves in the substrate? is this true? and if so how long can they be burried ALIVE???

I had a Huma that would just lay on the bottom when you turned out the light. I dont know how long one could stay buried, but I wouldn't worry about it. When I sleep I never forget to breathe.

Haven't heard or seen Triggers doing that... Wrasses do this...
Regardless, a fish isn't likely going to bury himself then just lay there and suffocate. If he buries himself, he'll unbury himself.

I never heard of them burrying either....many triggers like holes in the rock to lock themselfs into with their top dorsal spike though.
