Juvenile Crosshatch Trigger.....
 

Say "Hello" to my little friend. :mrgreen: It took me forever to track one down this small. It's approx. 4" in length and eating anything I feed it - frozen, pellets, flake. :multi: The tail looks redish (male indicator) while in my hand but is actually more yellow (female indicator) while swimming around. While swimming; there are hints of red that are prevalent along the fringes of the tail. :cool: Or...perhaps it's wishful thinking. :crazy: It also likes to be "pet" while being fed - seriously. It will allow me to stroke its side when I place my hand in the water.

nice:wink:

So cute! :biggrin:

You never see them that small. Great find.

Congrats!

Thank-you. Triggers are one of my many saltwater weaknesses. ;)

Thank-you very much. I CAN'T wait to purchase fish from you soon. Your fish system and quarantine system is EPIC. :mrgreen:

So cute!

Beautiful fish, I had one back in 09 that was a bit smaller to begin with. Like you said the tail color seemed to change, and for a while I thought it was a female. A bit before I was moving and shutting down my tank (Had my crosshatch for almost 4 years) it actually turned out to be a male and was coloring up nicely. Hopefully yours does the same. It was one of my wife's and my favorite fish, and had great personality.

Thank you. I think so too. lol

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. :mrgreen: My "Grouping" of Triggers is complete (well....unless if I find a "confirmed" Crosshatch male this tiny ;) ). I have my juvenile Crosshatch. I found my Greenei/Kiri, a Hawaiian Blue Throat and a Sargassum.
