Lance's 225 gal tank

[Lance]

Man-eating Trigger!

Thinned a few corals in the 90g this morning and was mounting these frags in the 225 when suddenly Bubba decided he wanted to sample a little human flesh. Bastard nailed my pinkie finger and drew blood! This comes as a surprise as I have held him in my hand many times. Maybe my pinkie was sticking out from my hand and looked like a nice fat worm? Christ, it's bad enough having a blood-thirsty mama Fire Clown; now I have to contend with a 6" Trigger with a mouth full of big teeth. I just hope the Tuskfish never wants to sample me, those fangs could do some serious damage. It's a sad state of affairs when one has to don Kevlar to work in his tank.

My mom used to put those kinda books up high on the shelves when we were kids so we didn't get corrupted and stuffs. Glad home life is exciting buddy =)

Ouch! My triggers like to bite fingers too, but only when Doug sticks his fingers in the tank and wiggles them around

Hehe. Brett, I swear you could find smut in a nursery rhyme!

[Lance]

Laurie, I think that's what I must have been doing: Wiggling my fingers.

Absolutely! You're the word-a-magician! And a very punny guy!

AND THEN THERE WERE THREE!

I purchased 12 Bluegreen Chromis two years ago and now they are down to three. I'll never keep them again. Nasty little fish; always picking on each other. I read somewhere that if they are fed small amounts at least five times per day the aggression may lessen. I tried this for two weeks and never saw any difference in their behaviour. I've always fed my fish well anyway so i think they're just plain nasty. Either that or the spawning male is screwing them to death. They spawn every week without fail and with a surprisingly large amount of eggs. For anybody who's thinking of getting some I'd advise against it.

Here's all twelve together taken back in February '09



And here is a typical spawn with the male guarding the eggs.

I have bought a total of 18 over the years (i'm a slow learner ) and I am down to 1 healthy, happy chromis .....who is over 6yrs old now come to think of it
