I am pretty sure that this dark mysterious creature is a Rectangulus Trigger........maybe. I can't remember.

Niger Trigger - generally one of the more peaceful triggers. this one is about 2.5" (still small). I just got him yesterday, so I'm still waiting for his personality to show through. So far, no signs of aggression. Though he doesn't seem real bright... upon introduction to the tank, he decided to cuddle right up with my lion. He seems no worse for the wear though.

Um... I think you're mistake. Niger is the name of the fish, pronounced "ni-jer" (as in, from Nigeria). The word you don't like is spelled with two "g"s.

I've heard other names such as "Black trigger" which is exact description, or "Bat fish".
I realize this fish was probably named well over 100yrs ago, but come on. :rolleyes:
I don't care what you name or describe with that word, or if it's an offical scientific descripion,
that word is forever ruined and out of date.

Man, you need to find something else to argue about. The real name for the fish is "Pacific Queen Trigger".
