New Trigger

[raphael]

Alright check it, I caught a trigger today that I have never seen. he is a dark blue almost black with like a yellow stripe on the bottom of his mouth to his belly, Now I am sure he is of the trigger species. Ok he is kindof shaky at the moment he has not moved out of the hole in the rocks since I put him in the tank, I hope he makes it, trust me I will get a pic up asap he is different. and about the Jelly Fish he was an easy catch, and the worst thing about it is this. I put the fish in a 5 gal buckett for the ride home and I live on the third floor so instead of taking a whole buckett of water upstairs I drained it out. The Jelly Fish was small and went with it. I did not notice till I was upstairs and put in the trigger. so I was thinking Ok no worries the sea is filled with them. A hour later i went down stairs and there he was living in a tiny tiny puddle of water, so I scooped him up and put him in the tank, the fish stated biting him, but they stopped maby they got stung I am not sure. but he is alive and I have to say one tuff jelly. Well if he stays alive long enough I will snap a photo of him. So when i get the pic up I will need your help. Thanks.

You really should have quaranteened the fish before putting it in your tank.

Jellyfish need a round tank w/lots of current to survive or they will die.

Its nearly impossible to keep a jellyfish alive in captivity. They are best left in the wild.

I've seen jellyfish kept in captivity. The places that had them do not seem "state of the art".
Can you share why you think a jellyfish is impossible to keep and should need a round tank?
This is not meant to be confrontational, but I am genuinely interested.
:thinking:

Hey, hes trying it all out Hes lucky enough to be living in a trpoical place where he has access to this stuff. Cant wait to see the trigger though. And the jelly, ive had no experience, but i bleieve they could be a little tough to take care of cuz of filtration and such. See how it works out.

[irenicus]

this was when I went cliff diving, from about 10 meters. I have better pics but on 35mm.

Alright there are some of the latest pics, the jelly fish is M.I.A Fish food most surely, I like the first trigger pic, my eel looks like he wants a peice of the trigger though. The coris wrasse stood still for a second so I took a shot of him, while he had a hunk of shrimp in his mouth. I let the stonefish,scorpion fish go, He ate all of my little fish and I had like 7, but oh well thats the way it goes, I no he would not eat anthing dead and I could not just keep catching little fish for him so I said goodbye buddy. Now onto the trigger, wtf is it maby I am confussed but I have never seen one before, its not small so I am not sure if it will change colors anytime soon to something I can picture. Well thats that. any info would be greatly appreciated.
