Some new fish for the tank.

The most rare trigger is a goldenback. But i don't think they look as good as the goldenheart trigger that you have. IMO i would get what you have already or a male crosshatch trigger. They are awsome and if you get one that is super colorful it will be one of the best looking fish you will ever see. I am in the middle of setting up a 200 gallon tank right now to house a pair of crosshatches and a golden puffer. BTW you got a good price on that trigger. Very nice find.

I just ordered a Crosshatch male. Should have it next week.
Just bought a Blue Spotted Boxfish for $38.95, one site has it listed for $119.95. Will get some pics of it tonight.
They had a Lunula Trigger down there for $300. I should of got him, but I am sure they will get another one.

I picked up a Blue Box fish for my buddy.
I also got him a Lime Green Wrasse AUSTRALIA X LARGE for $33.95, shows $119 on a site.

I agree you are going to have big problems while waiting for your new tank to cycle the goldenheart and huma huma must be watched it can take a short time for a huge problem.Also think about the massive increase in bio load.

I check all of my levels once per week. I also keep 200 gallons of Catalina water at my house for water changes. I usually do 40 gallons every other week, or more if needed. Since they are about 20 min away from me, I can get water delivered next day.
I know I have a lot of fish for a 250. It will be a little better in my 300 and should be no problem in my 1000.
As long as my levels are in reason and my fish are not hurting each other. I see no problem with how they are now. My PH is always kept at 8.2, and Nitrate is around 40. Ammonia and Nitrite at 0.
