what lfs did you get it at? I also live i SD. the queen looks great

 

[fishy88]

Btw i am thinking of buying that 360g. is it yours or your friends? Can i come over to see how big it really is? i am trying to see if it looks to big for my living room.

The trigger lives in a 300 gallon acrylic tank. Tank mates include a 15 Stellatus puffer, 13" miniatus grouper and a 26" Tesselata eel. The trigger is very strong and can pick up heavy corals. I bought the fish at a store called Fish Heaven in Escondido. I paid $70.00. The 360 in the classifieds belong to a friend, it is no longer for sale.

 

[fishy88]

darn. did he sell it or just not want to sell it?

 

[triggeraa]

The owner of the 360 changed his mind and decided to keep it. It's a beautifull tank with first class equipment.

70.00 is an amazing price on that beauty

 

[triggeraa]

Yeah $70.00 is a great price. At the other lfs a specimen this size runs in the $140.oo to 170.00 range.

 

[balistidae]

do you know if they have a good survival rate as juveniles??

Those peacock bass in those pictures are sweet.

Juvenile queen triggers are very hardy and grow fast. They are not picky eaters. You will need a large tank for they can grow to almost 24" when full grown. Thanks for the compliments. Much appreciated.
