Niger Triggerfish

[jmike50]

I know everyone will want to see pics...LOL. I just acquired a nice med. size trigger from one of our sponsors. The fish is very healthy and eating like a pig. When he/she gets more acclimated I will get a pic and post it. I am very proud of the fish. Thank you to the sponsor whom I acquired it from. Thank you:yay:

What size tank is he in Mike? They get big fast

 

[jmike50]

He is in my 75gal tank in the bedroom. I know I have not mentioned it before because I don't like to talk much about what all I have. This is a FOWLR.

 

[KrisDeitz]

They are awesome. My favorite fish. You'll enjoy him

 

[jmike50]

Thank you kris. What do you think about the triangle trigger?

Welcome to the trigger club. I have a Bluethroat couple that have finally stopped fighting and paired up after 4 1/2 months... And right when I was considering getting rid of the femal for a Niger. LOL...

They are truly beautiful fish. Congrats, Man...

Oh yeah. Make sure you add any shrimp at night before you go to bed, and all of the lights have been off for about an hour. They don't outright go for shrimp, but they will go after most things that hit the surface and sinks down through the water column.

Best of luck!!!

He is in a FOWLR 75 gal tank. He and the blue spotted puffers are already begin to be buddies. he already comes up to the glass when he sees me. I have only had him since about 1:00 this afternoon and like I said eats like a pig! LOL

How big would you say it is? (I don't really feel right asking you that...)

 

[jmike50]

LOL...the TRIGGER FISH is about 3.5 to4.5 inches. He was listed as a med. size.

I would so love to join the trigger club but I think it would be a play ground in my reef for them . Truly a beautiful catch. Best of luck with him.

Bluethroats, nigers, redtails (or corsshatch) triggers shouldn't be a problem in a reef.
Just stay away from the picassos, queens, clowns, humus, undulates, and assasis.

Hey Mike. Where are the stinking pictures???

 

[jmike50]

Working on the pics...he want be still...LOL

Beautiful fish, Man. Welcome to the Trigger Club.

We are taking applications to the Clean Glass Club, but I doubt you are interested... :lol2:
