from the start i wanted to get a female blue jaw trigger, i went to the store to pick one up and they had a beautiful sargassum there. about 5 inches or so for $119.99. beautiful color scheme and all. my brother still wants a female and the owner said that i could do a female bluejaw with it and it should/will be fine together. so i may still get a female blue jaw. dont know yet.
they also had a crosshatch trigger that was around 6 or so inches. im not positive but i think it was around $500 or so. also a beautiful fish but thats just too much for one fish.
this place was huge, and the owner ( bryan ) was very nice and helpful. they had frags amazing frags for $5 and has 4-5 inch frogspawns for $20. anyways, this place is very well run and had good deals.
ill get some pics up soon ( maybe tonight if all is well ) of my new inhabitants

well... i have only seem him really come out once and explore the tank. he is still very shy staying in the back of the tank and hiding. i know this is common with triggers at first but i am worried about him eating. when i fed the fish last night he didnt seem interested, but when i fed him today he seemed very interested ( even came out a little bit ) but only took one bite then went back in.
is this normal. he seems to be fine and healthy just very shy.
what should i do?
