trigger fish

Hello, I have a 5 inch Clown trigger in a large (600 gal) that tries to eat but ends up spitting the food up. There is no outward sign of disease; however, he is wasting away. Still a strong swimmer and goes after food aggressively; however, once he takes a bite or two he backs up quickly and...

I’m looking to upgrade my system. I currently have a clown trigger and a snowflake. I’ve been looking at Waterboxes and wanted opinions on the appropriate size tank. I was looking at the Waterbox 230.6. Do y’all think that’s big enough for the trigger?

I've got a Humu Trigger and Dragon Wrasse in a 125g right now. I picked up a porcupine puffer yesterday that's about 6-7inches(my trigger and wrasse are about half that). When we first introduced the puffer he followed the trigger all the way to his den, then lost interest. The Trigger came...

This is my first saltwater tank setup. I switched from freshwater and wanted to become a saltwater chemist after talking to an associate who has a large set up. I currently have them in my office, on 60g cube tank and a 5g cube tank. I’m planning on using the 5gal as a display for a carpet...

Afternoon all, Just wondering if anyone knows how to tell the male and female niger triggerfish apart?

Hello everyone. I have had a blue spotted pufferfish in one of my many at home aquariums for about 6 months now. He was in a tank with a baby snowflake eel and a undulate trigger fish. The tank is a 60 gallon. It was my small/ baby fish tank until they got big enough to move up into my 75 and...

My trigger has been hiding for a month now he's not swimming around just moving from spot to spot and hiding haven't seen him eat at all but still looks fat not sure what's going on

My triggerfish looks to have ich on him and my grouper Keeps rubbing himself on the sand do they have ich

Like what type of fish can/will eat them? Are they poisonous to fish when eaten?

I’m starting my official monster tank build thread… I’m just getting going on this, so at this point I’m still deciding on the specific size and the equipment I’ll need. I’ll try to keep this current and detail my thoughts on why I’m choosing the equipment and products that I will be using...

My trigger that I have has been very shy when i come up to the tank is there any reason for that. Am I scaring him or is something else wrong. It might be his personality I dont know.

Hello everyone. For saltwater, I started with a 13g aquarium , then a 32.5g aquarium, then 65g with a sump. Now, for my last and final upgrade... 180g Aqua Japan aquarium Included four door 30/31” tall cabinet and the included 60” sump. The floor has been reinforced. The stand is put...

I bought a blueline trigger the other day. He had been moved from one tank in the lfs to another for bullying another trigger. In the new tank he was bullying a clown trigger. Here at home he has been getting along so well with EVERYONE in the tank. He has even blocked a hybrid tang I have...

I just got a red tooth niger trigger fish about 5 days ago and added it to my 125gal tank with my porcupine puffer and snowflake eel. They are all juvenile still so that’s why they are in a “smaller” tank. Anyway I noticed over the past few days that my trigger will randomly twitch very fast to...

So the description basically says it all. I have a 150 gallon FOWLR system at the moment. Fish are: 2Clowns, 1 Onespot Foxface, 1 Smith's Blenny, 1 Powder Brown Tang, 1 Blue eyed kole tang,1 Adorned Wrasse, 1 Female Bluethroat Triggerfish. The triggerfish BEAUTIFUL but hides anytime she...

Can the experienced aquarist here shed some light on this variation or the species of this trigger? Please tag anyone who might have some knowledge on it. Thanks

I have an opportunity to purchase a 3" male and female Blue Jaw Triggerfish. I want to make sure my tank is big enough to house both as they get bigger. Display tank is 160g (71" L x 25.6" W x 23.6" H) . Looking for some feedback.

so I’m just finishing up a new 120 gal “consolidation” build. I took all 7 of my tanks down and consolidated bits of each into one tank. It was getting to be too much and overtaking my life. The problem with consolidating everything into one tank is that I can’t decide on which fish to keep. My...

So having just got a blue throat (blue jaw) trigger I'm instantly obsessed! So let's see what everyone else has got (and any interesting tank mates) I'll start the ball rolling with "Bluey McBlueface" (thank my 4 year old son for the name!)
