Finally got my Trigger. He is so shy but oh so beautiful.

Hello all. I finally got my trigger and love him. He has been very shy and hiding for the last few days. He ate right away and continues to eat, but he loves to just chill in cave in which he calls home. Here are some pics of the new guy, the butterfly I got about a month ago, and a couple of new shots of my eels. Thought I would share. Regards, Tim

Beautiful fish you have there. Stunning.

I forget, is that a crosshatch trigger?

Gina · 06-05-2008, 06:50 PM

Wow, big pictures! LOL
Yes, he is a beautiful fish.
Butterfly and EEL are nice too!

lcstorc · 06-05-2008, 06:50 PM

Very cool. Three eels. Looks like they all get along too. That is pretty cool to see. Love the trigger and the angel as well.

myerst22 · 06-05-2008, 08:42 PM

Thank you all. No butterfly in those pics. i think you are referring to the Tinker's butterfly. Tim

My bad. I wasn't thinking.

Beautiful fish! It's times like these when I really want a predator tank instead of a reef.

Well I can thank Les from Wet Pets who is a sponser here for many of the great fish I have. Not pictured from Les is a beautiful black tang Z. Rostratum i got a couple of months ago that is awesome. Tim

Hello all. I got my trigger about a week and half ago and he is just starting to swim around. He only eats silversides. I have tried fresh clams on the shell, my homemade gel based food, squid, mussels, plankton, brine shrimp, mysis, krill, live ghost shrimp, live crayfish, and NLS. He will only eat silversides. I find that strange considering he's a planktivore and he only eats silversides. Will this change in time? In past experience's with planktivore triggers they usually eat everything right from the get go. I have tried the foods soaked in garlic and selcon and un-soaked. What do you think? Here are some new pics of him anyway. Thanks, Tim
