I buy 40oz PE mysis packs for $40 from my LFS. Not great, but much more liveable than 16oz/$27. @Ted, You do dry food? pellets, nori, etc?

hear that..just worried about upsetting the balance of the tank...do not need him to be bullied by my Sohal...Cinereus is very mellow and I am not worried about any other fish...just the Sohal, who only bothers my Cortez but most of the fish in the tank grew-up together...

Awesome trigger. I see your point about the balance of the tank. And its not like you can just put a 10" fish in an aclimation box. You could try to put a qt tank next to your DT so the acrlyic touches and that way the other fish will see your new trigger for a while before he joins the group.
I wonder if your sohal is only going after the cortez because he is the least likely to fight back? I have a goldenheart trigger that nips at any fish that gets in his way durring feeding time. He especially liked to do it to the tangs I use to keep with him. The tangs quickly learned to stay clear. Do you have any plans for agressive wrasses? My favorites are klunzinger wrasse and newtons wrasses. Both show up on DD every once in a while and are fast and large enough where I don't think your trigs would eat them. The wrasses are cool because they will grab a large piece of food and then smash it into the rocks to break off a more manageable piece to eat.

Hey Ed,
Both my qt are in another room...the trig is now in a 4 x 4 x 30inch tank solo at la and is going thru their qt process...he will prob go into my 125 qt... I think the sohal chases the Cortez due to the size of the Cortez..she is quite large and much bigger than my Queens...and is perhaps closest in size to the Sohal... no wrasses...the Outrigger is the last fish... considering the fish in my tank, it is pretty mellow...but as I mentioned before, I purposely overfeed them... Hope your fish are doing well.. |
