now now evrybody, hes new to this hobby as we all wer at one point, we need to let this guy learn from his mistakes, and hes gonna learn A LOT from this experience atleast, if not then may the sw tank gods have pity on ur ignorant soul

This is just your usual "look I can do it" post, notice how none of these people are back in a year or two with the same fish? Show me one person, anybody who has kept mutiple triggers in a small tank or large for that matter for more than five years and I would be amazed. There might be a reason you never see that.

 

[sharkboy13]

ya, it is, but i will laugh if (not saying he will) comes back and evry fish is alive and healthy

See you all in a year.............

That's the problem... you seem to believe that all is well. How do you plan on dealing with a 30 inch agressive fish?

 

[triggcity]

The same way I deal with my other 30 inch monster.....with great care.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Titan gets bored after killing everything else and goes after Triggcity.

 

[ice4ice]

LOL !! OK bro, we'll see you in a year - with a triggerless tank with LR and sand.

do you guys honestly think when this all goes bad he's gonna come back and tell everyone "hey you said someone would get violent in the end, and you were right."

You never know with nature...saw a cool show about strange animal friendships. One included a cat and a pet mouse. They played all over the house....slept together etc. So even mother nature breaks rules sometimes....

Agreed, but I don't think we should try to keep unsuitable tank mates hoping for a miracle. Most of us would agree you shouldn't buy a pet mouse and a cat and cage them together.

There are certainly exceptions, my LFS has a 10" or so clown trigger thats afraid of its own shadow, been living in a peaceful community with chromis and firefish for years. On the other hand, finding a clown, queen, and titan trigger that all happen to be passive? Not likely....not to mention there is NO expert source ANYWHERE that recommends keeping titan triggers with ANY other tankmates, let alone other triggers. Theres many fish that you can break rules with, but the titan trigger certainly isnt one of them.

Hey Triggcity, I have some questions for you. Have you noticed if the triggers raise their triggers alot during feeding or other times? If so, observe what they are doing at the time they raise their trigger. Also, if one raises its trigger does another one do the same nearby? If so that may be a first sign of aggression IMO.
Do you feed them nori at any time? If so are you able to hang in on the side of the tank before they get it? Does one get it and suck the whole thing down before anyone else does?
I am asking these questions because I am curious about their behavior before any of the go postal if they do. This doesn't mean in any way that I condone keeping all of them together is a small tank.

UNREAL..... I did not want to post untill I saw it for my own two eyes. I'm going to do my own test. What if i put 4 full size pitbulls in a 8x8 room and feed them once a week. The same thing that is gona happen here. I had to put that in.
