hi everyone. so i bought a picasso triggerfish about a week ago. very active and eating well right from the start. however, this morn, i noticed the trigger wasnt out. i fed the tank and he still didnt show. i found him wedged in a rock just staring at me. the only other specimen i added was a moray eel.wats causing him to do this?

an eel a clown a sailfin a koran and now a paccaso you need to get all those fishy out they are way to big for your tank except the clown trade them in for fish that can acctually stay in a 75 for a year without them out growing the tank!

Oh I see, well I think he is still heading for a disaster. Because at some point he is going to have to high of a bio-load with added all those fish in there and not waiting any time in between to add more. UGH!!!!! All I can say is Poor Fishies!!!

No one was trying to insult you....just stating the facts...too much in a tank will lead a later issue....therefore making it NOT OK for your fish
in a way....he was answering your question

It sounds like something is stressing your fish out. I would have to guess that one of your fish is the stressor. You can try rearranging the rockwork to alleviate for the time being. Seriously, I would reconsider some of the fish because it will cause nothing but problems in the long term success for the tank.

If I came off rude I am sorry for that, but I was just as Meowzer said stating the facts. YOU have a high bio-load going on in the tank already and by adding fish to that is only going to increase that.
