New fishy in the tank

[rcreations]

So I've been working on re-structuring my 150gal. Gone are the powder blue tang, the lunare wrasse and dogface puffer. Also moved to my other tank is the yellow wrasse. Which opened up the door for a fish I've always admired. Here's a quick picture. I'll take a better one tomorrow. She's 6" and already showing the rest of the fish not to mess with her. When I put her in, the sargassum trigger went to check her out... well she wanted nothing to do with it and quickly chased him away. Did the same with the naso tang and the queen angel. Pretty soon all the fish knew to leave her alone and that was that. Not the biggest fish in the tank, but definitely acting like she is.

what is it?

Goldheart trigger.

Gorgeous RĊ!! I've never seen a Goldheart with the lines being so blue! What lights do you have on there? Was he a certain WYSIWYG pick up, or a local buy?
Really debating between a Goldheart and a Black Durgeon for myself now...

 

[rcreations]

Thanks. It was a WYSIWYG from an online store (they have another one for sale right now, same size). Beautiful fish and she arrived nice and fat. I'm using MH lights in the tank.

Congrats R ! Love it. Did you get it from the place I got the Queen-?

 

[rcreations]

No, this one I got from a very popular site that has lots of fish you can see before you buy. They sell pet supplies too.

IC, I'll drop you an email

Some more pictures... and she's starting to fit in a little. At first, all my other fish were afraid of her but now they're just back to usual business and she hasn't made any agressive moves towards them.

Great fish, I have not seen one with that much blue. Incredible

 

[redsea]

awesome!

beautiful fish --, I know exactly where you got him from, I had actually considered getting him. Congrats

 

[rcreations]

Thanks! I really like this trigger, sort of halfway between peaceful and agressive. It doesn't bother the other fish but it fights back if other fish bother her. My queen angel quickly learned not to do any of her tail smacking with this one. lol
Only odd thing is that it's a little picky as far as feeding. I'm used to my other triggers which eat everything they see. The Goldheart so far has not touched any of the prepared frozen cube food or the pellets. She does love raw shrimp and squid though. I'll try silversides and a clam tomorrow.

Cool fish!

Wow, I have never seen one with such distinct coloring. Great looking fish

 

[rcreations]

I really like the "lightning" marks on her body, especially when she's sleeping and her colors get dark, those white marks really stand out.

Beautiful!!! I often wish I could have some of these......but I think that my clown goby may have a problem with that.......and I don't think he would like my 29 gallon tank...lol
