This is bozo the clown trigger
I feed him 3-4 times a day I give him mysis, krill,sprilulina brine and shrimp.
His tank mates are powder blue tang, flame angel, yellow longnose butterfly, orange shoulder tang, and a zebra angel.
He's in a 135g tank.
I've had him for maybe 1 1/2 - 2 months.

Hopefully he stays that way. He's also warming up to me I can now hand feed him.

congrats! but now he is going to start begging, lol stay strong. but since you cot an adult if he was going to change and become aggressive he would have. thats why you dont get the baby clown trigs, they change on you.

you could always change that...

Tell me about it I'll feed him till he literally refuses food but he'll still beg for more.

Sorry. But now I got my Debelius Reef Lobster to keep me happy for now. Next is some feather dusters and a Tridacnid.

lol at least you can never over feed. does your trigger try to eat the food it throws up?

 

[mauler]

When he's finally full he'll either just completely ignore the food but continue to beg which confuses me or he'll take it to his cave and spit out like he's trying to save it for later. He's a very odd fish.

 

[trigger40]

lol i have always compared trigger behavior to toddlers, there a handful. but thats why we love them. my trigger will dump mouthfulls of sand on my other fish, it's intresting to watch. lol i think i see now why his name is bozo.

lets keep the triggers coming!

 

[mauler]

That's a good comparison. Yeah I'm sure if he's all there sometimes.

Are we seriously the only ones with triggers.

 

[silverado61]

I'm still laughing about the fact that SWF had a trigger photo contest and trigger40 was the only entry.

 

[mauler]

I saw that but I noticed it to late to enter. But I guess that means we're it for trigger owners

 

[jay0705]

There are reasons for that lol

 

[mauler]

What are these reasons you speak of?

 

[jay0705]

Missing tank mates! Lol

 

[mauler]

That's all part of the fun though
