Crosshatch

[ca1ore]

Local reefer is selling a smaller male crosshatch and I’m tempted. Should i lay down until the temptation goes away? Triggers are a fish group I’ve never kept. I have plenty of swimming room, but also lots of tank mates. Experiences with this fish appreciated.

they are fairly peaceful aren't they?

They are extremely mellow, peaceful fish unless you have two that are the same size. With only one you wouldn't have that problem though. Won't bother corals, inverts or smaller fish. Could be shy at first

Peaceful from what I know and see at my LFS. On par with blue throat or redtail.

Ok, thx. Just have to decide if the price of entry is worthwhile LOL

Yeah they are not cheap. Beautiful though!

Hey - you have any experience with Tracey's damsels in your damsel hoarding? ;)

Sorry, that's is about the only chrysiptera that I have not kept ….. though not for lack of trying. Just cannot find them (well, other than for $$ on DD).

Yeah there have been a few on DD lately. Thanks!

There are a few people that I've heard from, that had to rehome their CH triggers that eventually decided to 'eliminate' tank mates!
