new trigger but dont know wat kind!

[clown123]

i just got a trigger today it has blue stripes with mostly yellow dots? if someone can help that would be good.sorry i cant get pics until christmas

 

[clown123]

it is also eating my hermits and snails!

 

[aw2]

Just one good reason not to get a fish if you dont know what it is. :notsure:
Is there any way you can get a pic of it? The only Trigger, that I know of, that would look like that is a juvenile Blue Line...and if that's the case, you're soon to be out of hermits and snails and anything else in the tank, cause it'll all be considered food.

its like 3inches but i dont know what is wrong with it i turned my light on and it just sits there like its dead and when the lite is on it does it too is it sick? or worst dying!

 

[my way]

If you just got it and the lights just came on he might need a while to "wake up". If it takes more than 20-30 minutes for him to start swimming around you might have a problem. Give him time to acclimate.

Sounds like a Fuscus or Blue Line (may be the same thing).
does it look like this?

I've heard it is quite an aggressive trigger.
Triggers will hide and are quite shy at first.

same thing it got its color over night there really nice i got it for $40 is that a good deal?

 

[aw2]

$40 isnt bad, but you've got a killer on your hands.
What size tank is it residing in and what are it's tankmates?
