Show us your triggers!

[Delphinus]

Ok I searched, and to my surprise, I couldn't find a thread yet started dedicated for triggers! :eek: Let's correct this at once!! Show us your triggers!

Here's my "baby" crosshatch. Had her 6 months now. I *suspect* she is a female although probably still too small too tell. Hard to see but there is red forming in her .. um .. I'm not sure what those fins are called. In the pictures you can't see the red, they look transparent. So it probably is still just too early if this is a boy or girl.

Picasso Trigger, not so much a baby.

How's the Picasso in the sand, does he dig much?

That clown is awesome! How big (I guess "how tiny") IS he?

[kien]

Clown is a little bigger than a quarter, but barely. Picasso doesn't dig.. yet. I've had Picassos in the past that were great diggers though :neutral: He does like to take chunks of live rock and spit them out and he is a great barker. Trish was sort of freaked out about it at first. She was wondering what was making those strange noises in the tank throughout the day.

Are they together in the same reef Lando? I really want to try a Niger trigger one day too but I wonder if they can play nice together...

[Delphinus]

Man my pictures look positively greyscale compared to your pictures (@Kien & @Lando here..). I think I am starting to hate photography! I think I am only going to post pictures that I can colour up in MSPaint from now on.

Or just embrace the trend the pictures are going in anyhow, and just post in black and white. And I'll claim I'm going for a "rustic" look. :lol:

PS. I mean it, great pictures both of you. :cool:

They are not in the same tank the niger was in my original tank a couple years ago, the sargassum is in my current tank. You might be able to have both in the same tank though both fish are/were very passive to any new additions.

I also have a baby 1" blueline trigger that Ken from Blue world has been kind enough to look after for me. I need him to get to 2 and half to 3 inches in size before I can add him to my fowlr tank. The niger is a bit nipped up but that was from his Toby puffer friend who sneaked into the pic. with him. No new nips lately so I think they've worked out their issues, and the niger and bursa get along fine with each other. Tony you should be fine adding a niger to your tank if you'd like too.

Thanks :biggrin: I've wanted one for awhile but it's really rare to see them available in Edmonton. A guy in Calgary sold me his and a friend on here brought it to Edmonton for me. However when I got it, it was way to small to go into my fowlr tank. At about 1" my grouper would of eaten him. Thankfully Ken was willing to give the little guy a good home until he got bigger. However I think Ken got attached to the little guy, because when I was at his store today, there was a 2 1/2-3" blue line trigger there eating mysis like a pig and looking very healthy. Needless to say Ken I and worked out a trade :mrgreen: Also happy to report that the blue line has settled in nicely and is doing great in my fowlr tank. Here's another pic. for the heck of it :biggrin:

BTW Sarah you have a very big nice new tank that I'm sure a trigger could "jump" into :wink:

We seem to have very similar taste in fish :-) .. hmm, that sounded a little weird, but you know what I mean! Love that blue line. :biggrin:

Thanks, and don't worry as there's nothing wrong with having good taste :biggrin:

I was perusing the forum and decided to resurrect an old(er) thread......Enjoy.....

These two have been together for a while now. The Bluethroat was introduced into my Display first and after searching forever; I found a nice small Sargassum and introduced it afterwards. Fortunately there has never been any aggression towards each other or tank mates.....aside from the odd snail; which I'm more than happy to sacrifice. The snails provide a live healthy meal and I believe the shells allow the triggers to grind and wear down their teeth when so inclined.

They've never looked at my Citron Clown goby, Cleaner Shrimp, or baby Harlequin Tusk. In fact; they will go to the cleaner shrimp and have themselves a good cleaning and backrub ;) As for corals; they have never shown any interest.

Awesome trigger Red! I always wanted one! I love the clown trigger

Thanks. Clown triggers....not really known to be reef safe. Although, you may want to try a small one and see what happens.
