It is with a great deal of sadness that I must get rid of both of my Blue Throat Trigger Fish. Their skin is just too abrasive for the acrylic tank. The male, in particular, swims constantly long the aquarium walls and has destroyed the viewing panels. It remains to be seen if I will ever be able to polish them out. (polishing pads are on the way...more on that later)
I love these fish, but I love the entire tank just that bit more. So...it's figure out a way to remove them. So far, so good. With TomR's sage advice, I built a trap from an old reactor media bottle. Set it in place and caught the male on my very first try! Thanks Tom!!! He is now a very, very unhappy triggerfish living in my WC sump. He will be transferred to a new home within the week. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/000_0362.jpg |
Man thats really too bad you have to give them up :neutral:
Is it actually there skin scratching the acrylic or teeth? I know my puffers teeth would scratch the heck out of an acrylic tank. He seems to constantly swim across the tank with his mouth pressed up against the glass. Did you find them a good home yet? |
Hey I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the beautiful big gorgonians? I have looked all over and have had such a hard time finding any in town like that.
Do you feed them? |

Great job Brad the trap looks good maybe we should start a home business with these traps.

I will look into the same kinds you have. Do you know if Tampa Bay Saltwater sells them? Did you have it all shipped to the US side of the boarder? Thanks again. I really love how natural your tank looks! |
TBS does post prices for the gorgonians on their site. It is likely that they grow naturally at the aquaculture dive site. I don't think that they ship to Canada, however. All my stuff was shipped to Seattle and I brought it into Canada myself. (That's an entire discussion covered many pages ago...)
