Big Mamma pics
It's been a while, so I thought I'd post some new pictures of my Queen Trigger.

She's around 17" to 18" or so, more fin now than before, though. Her streamers are growing much longer.

3 or 4 years, don't remember exactly. She is with a Lunar Wrasse now, but has been by herself for quite a while. I had to commit to having a tank dedicated to her. Luckily she isn't crazy aggressive and slamming into the tank and rocks, otherwise I would have to find her another home. She is very laid back for a Queen...until food is in the water.

Amazing trigger, I love the elegance of the queen trigger. They just have that presence, They really can make a tank.

Live food rarely goes in her tank, but I can re-visit some of her previous videos, like Trigger vs Algae (for the Vegans out there):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8Mvgudy0uw Or, Trigger vs Siphon Tube. She is "helping" me siphon the sand out of her tank to replace it with aragonite because she stirred up the sand so much that she burned out a $250 pump: http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q...t=MVI_7288.flv Trigger vs Lionfish, as stickied above: http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q...t=MVI_2067.flv The only actual live feeding video, Trigger vs Bad Damsel. The damsel killed a tang at the lfs, and was literally about to be flushed. You can see why live feedings would only get her hurt.

Actually, I used my buddies rubber landing net and put her in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid while I switched tanks. Taking the old tank down and putting the new one up took less than a day. Lotta prep work, though. Except for the actual netting part, she was surprisingly calm. When she went into the new tank it was like it was no big deal, she looked right at home. Even in the Rummermaid, she was just cruising around, spitting water out, biting the powerhead.

That is one amazing fish, wish the other videos were on YouTube, that's all I get on my phone.this is really making me want one large aggressive fish instead of a few medium ones.

im with you angel this trigger is changing my view on only having one aggressive fish in a tank. Wish my tank was about 80 gallons larger
