My 5 gallon Nano

[Radams1969]

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself and my tank friends. My name is Roxie and I am new to Reefing but absolutely hooked. Currently my daughter and I have a nano 24g & 2 nano 5g. Hope to start meeting everyone and hopefully get some answers to questions that usually arise on a daily basis. Lol

Welcome to the disease, er hobby! :) You have some feisty fish in the middle pic: the purple Dottyback and the Niger Trigger. How are they behaving with their neighbors?

For the most part they behave. The Dottyback chases the sandperch under his rock sometimes. The Trigger just bullies at dinnertime. Lol

....The Trigger just bullies at dinnertime. Lol

That is far better than the trigger actually eating its neighbors for dinner, a la Hannibal Lecter. I had an Undulated Trigger (small, like 3" or so) slice a green Coris Wrasse into two with one bite within 30 seconds of the one being introduced to the other. Never made that mistake again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh wow. The Dottyback is the meaner of the 2 in our tank for sure. Just put a cleaner shrimp in the tank 20 minutes ago and she chased and nipped at it until it found a hiding spot. Might have to relocate the shrimp.

Welcome to the forum!
Tanks are looking good!
I’ll be the bad guy - that trigger and angel will outgrow a 24 gallon fast.

Your not a bad guy lol, I was just gonna post the same kindly worded message. There’s a blue tang in there as well. Time to upgrade.

Seeing those fishies does make me miss my Trigger family in the old six foot tank! Only nanos for me these days.
