I'm glad he made it. He should establish himself as the "alpha' fish soon.

Cool! He seems to get along great!

 

[mjm889]

thanks guys, he is doing well, gets along with everyone, eats everything that is offered to him, he has kinda of put the pink tail and the blue throat in check as they dont fight with eachother anymore.

 

[mjm889]

very very nice set up. I personally would add some more rock. It can only help.

 

[mjm889]

thanks, i agree i could use more rocks

 

[ryant]

cool little trigger, he looks just like mine

I see we got a whole club of Clown Trigger owners here. Lets prove to everyone that these fish can get along in a community tank.

(with the right tank mates, ofcourse)

Sounds like we need a sub forum in the aggression section for triggers

. Mines still small and ive yet to add any tankmates. Im hoping when i transfer tanks i will be able to add more livestock.

 

[mjm889]

i agree, too many times people put triggers with peaceful community fish thinking they are going to get along. then all hell breaks loose, then they blame this fish, i bet over 75% of the time its the owner of the tanks fault then the fish. it would be like me putting my police K-9 in a room with a small kitten, not a good idea

 

[skate020]

love the tank
i love when the pinktail comes over and he turns over a lil bit as to say, "ok, leave me alone" aha!

 

[mjm889]

thanks it bought the tank last year from fishtank direct. i always wanted a nice acrylic tank and finally got one!

I love the commercial in the background.
WABBITTS!!!

 

[mjm889]

lol yeah i forgot to hit the mute button on the tv!

 

[ryant]

just curious, what do you feed him?

 

[mjm889]

i feed the raw shrimp for the grocery store, mysis shrimp, krill, squid, pellets, flake and green algae sheets, loves it all, soak the food in vitamins selcon

 

[ryant]

Thats one thing im not doing, soaking in vitamins. I know the reasoning behind this, but is it critical for triggers? Im guessing they dont get all the vitamins they need because the meaty food only provides protein?

 

[mjm889]

i never use to give vitamins but now i do, i see the difference in color and with health in my fish. i only soak the raw shrimp in vitamins and feed that every other day. i think its worth it helps boost there immune system and fight of parasites. its your call but its worth doing
