I don't know about the damsels being lunch...depending on their size they can hold their own. They're hard to catch also. You should be warned though about your puffer and trigger combination...probably won't work out in the long run. Triggers are just too aggressive. In a tank that size though you can get all kinds of cool fish...groupers, triggers, eels, wrasses, lionfish...just not too many.
 
the funny thing is that the puffer like to be around the trigger and the trigger gets scared and go to bite but the puffer bites back but overall they are cool together they sleep in the same corner , and yeah the damsels are hard to get :D
 
harlequin tusk would go great in that setup, the damsels are way to fast for the triggers, mine are still alive, the only reason they would die is because the damsels would fight among eachother
 
yeah it is funny that the damsels act like the puffer and they trigger aren,t even there ,they are too busy kicking each others butt :D
 
ok update one damsel down 2 to go humu humu is eating one as we speak my wife calls me a t work to tell me that theres been a death in the tank , oh well here i go to get a panther grouper :eek: :D
 
i went to the store and a saw a real nice french angel and a couple snowflake eels ,and i might get them , or go snorkeling and catch this same fish ,but i,am scared that they will get my tank sick :confused:
 
when i went snorkling here in west palm beach i saw alot of real nice fish like tangs and a pair of french angels and at another ship wreck i saw like 4 to 5 little french angels but the best was this big grouper which bumped me well i was under and i thought dam i,am gonna die i thought it was a shark becasue there has been some attacks here , but i,am thinking of going this weekend to see if i can save my self 40 dollars on the angel if i caught one p.s. if a shark don,t get me first :mad: :eek:
 
well i just went to the pet store to see what they got and i got the panther grouper as ,am walking out i see about 6 clowntriggers for 50 a piece ,i want one but will it get along with the 3.5 humu humu and porky ? the clown tiggers are about 2.5 to 3 inches ! :eek:

Well, if you went snorkling in West Palm you'd be in the Atlantic. (Unless you're talking about a West Palm other than the one in SE Florida.) :D

An undulate trigger should not be added to this tank as it is not a community fish. It should only be kept alone in a tank.

Not to be smart but the fish you are putting together will sooner or later cause you to visit us in the disease forum. I have answered the question a million times about Triggers and Puffers and frankly no one seems to heed the warnings. I have a feeling in time there will only be one of the 2 sleeping in that corner.
 
why is that the puffer and trigger get along even though the puffer isn,t scared of the trigger but they never fight for food or space they sleep next to each other and swim alot together , but for my info what talking about i hav to know i hav had these fish together a number of times and no problems ,but it is good to know more info if i ever need it :D
 
i wish i was in cali , i,am dieing to go there, anyways i added 2 more fish i got this yellow tang and a cleaner wrease , the cleaner is awesome he goes up to al the fish even the trigger and cleans him but the puffer doesn,t like when the cleaner wrease comes to him ,lol it is so cool when the panther grouper and the trigger race to get food but the puffer gets to the goodies first oh and the other 2 damsels are stil alive and fat , i,am geting a lionfish soon ,so the damsels might not be around for long :rolleyes:
