I have three of them and they all eat just about everything. If it hits the water they will eat it.

scuba what do u usually feed them just give me a brief list of like 4-5 foods

 

[scubadoo]

Krill, squid, mysis, formula one, formula two, nori, mussel, marine cuisine, silversides, emerald green,..and I am probably forgetting a couple.

Seriously now : squid ,shrimp,muscles, scalops,silversides, flake, brine shrimp,sea weed pelet . You name it and they will eat it. but definatly try to stick with more meaty things such as the shimp squid muscles and scalops. they carry more nutritition.

Yes....quite possible.

My niger trigger would suggest eat flakes. The when he saw what i was feeding my eel he would come and try it. He would never touch krill or anything else. But now hes eating squid and krill. He never tries to bite my fingers, when ever i put my hand in the tanks he swims off. I would skip the feeder fish and use saltwater fish flakes. I would also dump in some krill and squid and leave it in the tank for awhile and see what the trigger will do.

Yes most times a new fish even such as triggers will be timid the first day or so and not eat. if nothing seams to be working try some garlic extreme or minced garlic soaked with the food. the ghost shrimp should get it to feeding but I wouldn't use them as a steedy diet.

when i got my clown a few years ago, i fed it two hours later and it started eating!!! :happyfish

 

[mitzel]

As I said "MOST" times. there are a lot of factors in this. water quality, aclimation, how long the fish has been in transit from the ocean/breeder to your tank. tank size , inhabitants ,lighting over all health of the fish.

i got a clowfish not a clown trigger :happyfish

 

[mitzel]

It doesn't really matter. all of the above will effect any kind of fish. SW/FW/BW
But I would think you should know that .
