Triggerfish!
Hello, all!
I am currently trying to decide which trigger to get for my 180 gallon tank. I am infatuated with the fuscus trigger, although I doubt I'd be able to put him in my 180 (by himself) for life. So, in order to get over that thought, I'd love to see some nice pictures of your triggerfish for inspiration! Any ideas of what I should do for my 180 involving some sort of trigger? Any ideas would be appreciated! A list of triggers I have owned: -Bluethroat (Male) -Niger -Goldheart -Indian (currently have) Thanks! |

Lei trigger.

Would this be a community or species tank?

Yes another large aggresive trigger but then it would be ww3 and you would have 2dead/hurt trigs. Damsels are good aggresive fast and cheap to replace.
|
my pink tail was pretty aggressive!!! lol it bit me more than once while hand feeding my moorish idol.
|
I know its a cheap fish, but I think Huma-Huma's are beautiful for the price, however, they are also a little "over done". Just a thought. Best of luck!

fuscus, clown, queen, titan, undy...must be kept alone when larger because they will kill all of their tankmates...however, the undy should also be kept alone even when tiny as they are just nasty aggressive and mean, and will attack fish many times its sie...these fish should not be kept together when large...a damsel will work as tank mate...small, very fast, and some, are very aggressive...just dont get an expensive one...I had a domino that grew to about 4 inches, was just massive and thick...held his own with some tough triggers...got rid of the domino due to aggression, lol...anyway...be careful with these fish...ps, if you purchase these fish as large adults they will be mean right off the bat...I once saw a 14 inch queen try to eat its way out of an acrylic tank....was attacked by a 3 foot titan, that was thicker than a bowling ball off Kaua'i...dangerous fish...

try the omnivorous triggers they are much easyer with tank mates
|
an aggressive thalassoma wrasse might be able to hold its own

Humu Picasso triggerfish are my all time favorite fish, assasi triggers are cool to. Hawaiian black tiggerfish and Indian triggers have nice coloration.

i would say Undulated. i really like the way they look

If it's a species tank, I'll go with the undulatalus or fuscus. DD has one a nice size right now.
If not, I'd stick with the ones you had on your list of owned as they are usually more friendly. http://www.liveaquaria.com/images/di...116121-345.jpg http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...+3&ddid=142860 Good color. Here's my fuscus. I had to separate him out due to his growing belligerence with his tank mates. The blueline was fine while he was small, but as it got some age and size, his nature caught up. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...121024x681.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/...111024x681.jpg |
You have a awesome blueline.
