starfish/trigger

[dockery07]

I have a HumaHuma trigger that I am going to be moving into my 180 tank. Not for about 6 months or so. Can I keep a red general with him. I have not decided what else is going to be in this tank yet.

I seriously doubt it. The trigger would more likely than not pick, pick, pick at the starfish until it died. Bo

Munch Munch. Sorry Man, that's really risky.

I know my rectangular always knocks my snails off the glass when he see's them on there.

I dont have anything but rocks in there with him now. He is in a 55gallon. Just trying to decide what to do with this 180

You could get away with a Choc Chip Star. I've had one and I've seen several other people with them.
The trick I found it to keep your trigger full. I full trigger is a happy trigger.
My Choc Chip was in with a clown trigger (6" or so) & Emperor angel (10" or so). If you don't keep their belly full, they'll nip at anything. I also kept about a two dozen big hermit crabs in the tank as well. The only problem with the crabs was the clown would eat their long antenna...so all crabs had really short ones They were in the tank for over 2 years together. Had to break down the tank to move

Trigga, sounds like you had a pretty nice setup. Got any pics of it? What size tank was it? Bo

THat sounds like a pretty good idea. I need to figure out what else I want to keep with this little guy. He always has a full belly and he likes to chomp on some rocks. I guess they help with the teeth.

It's a 300 gal. 8'x2'x3' which gave the fish plenty of swimmin' room.
I haven't taken any pics since I set it up again earlier this year. I'll see if I can dig something up.
