Only one of the rarest most beautiful triggers there are.

I have no experience keeping them but wish i did.

Holy Cow Bat Man! I'd SAY!!! Hmmmmm lovely looking creature!

Isn't there a Tang like that as well?

smith66 · 01-08-2008, 04:45 PM

I bought "that" pair from live aquaria about 5 months ago ( have to eat ramen for the next year) . So far so good. Havent eaten any of my shrimp or hermits, been model citizens. They sure are MESSY though.
I cant wait till one gets scared and SMASHES through my SPS corals ! HAHA

BigAl07 · 01-08-2008, 04:47 PM

Wow! Just how BIG is your tank? Those rascals are HUGE aren't they?

smith66 · 01-08-2008, 04:50 PM

I have to admit, the tank is undersized for these too. Thats the problem with buying stuff via the internet, sight unseen. Yes, they are BEAST, especially the male.
Tank is 8 feet long, and about 300 gallons with the sump.

I have been looking at that pair for a while I would love to put them in my new tank, but I am trying to keep a light bio-load. They sure are pretty though. Plus I love my shrimp.

Congratulations... would love to see a few pics !
I am planning on having a pair in my tank once things get set up

AQTCJAK · 01-08-2008, 08:39 PM

Agreed Crosshatches are beautiful triggers they do get large & create a bio load out of this world that would be my concern before trashing sps

smith66 · 01-08-2008, 10:17 PM

They dont eat shrimp at all. Yah, bioload is rough. I am running two Aqua c 180 skimmers in my tank at the same time. Heres the male.

One of the coolest tanks I've seen was at the Yokohama Sea Park, A huge tank about 10 foot across 6 feet high and a good 4-5 feet deep, with 15-20 crosshatch triggers swimming around in it. Didn't have a digi cam back then and the photos I took on my film cam never came out. I need to schedule a trip to go back there just to take photos of those triggers with my digital now.
And visit some LFS's, and visit Akihabara to pick up some other toys...

Beautiful Fish!!!!!

boozeman · 01-09-2008, 10:55 AM

beautiful

I'm not worried about the bioload....I'm sure my skimmer is large enough to handle it

smith66 · 01-09-2008, 05:43 PM

Its more their swim area that I would worry about
