i really personally would not keep a trigger in a 29 gallon, but anyhow, i just had a goofy thought, training a fish:
here boy
sit up
roll over
sic!
what else could we train them to do
not laughing at you, that is just a little dry humor that came to mind(we all need it once and a while, so PLEASE don't take this one personal, i am really not making fun, just sharing a goofy thought)
fish do learn some things, but i don't think we can train them to do things, like ignore natural foods(maybe help to avoid, by feeding well, but not train)
hey and welcome aboard

don't worry i didn't take it personally it was kinda funny like a dog training i just ment what u said about avoiding. I really wanted a trigger but i don't want to torture it in a tiny tank compared to the ocean.

Fsh hub....Unfortunately, the easiest trick I have taught my fish is "Play Dead". Hate it when that happens!

I wouldn't suggest the trigger in your tank--it's just too small for him. Although I'm sure you wouldn't be the first if you did.
We have "trained" most fish to take aquarium fare because they have no choice -either they eat what we give them or they starve-but you would be giving him a choice and I assure you he'll choose the natural kind any day. I'm glad you were not offended by the jokes, 'cause you did kinda set yourself up on that one--and it really was pretty funny.
Good Luck

I have Trained my huma huma trigger fish!!! I read that they are one of the smartest fish, ive trianed him to swim through a hoop, roll over and let me scratch his belly, and pick up shells at the bottome of the tank. I just use food as a "reward" and now when i put my hand in there to clean it is eager to bring me a shell.
