Do they need something special to keep their teeth down? I feed my fish frozen mysis ect....Mainly frozen for mine.
I've got a pair of blue Throat Triggers and they are real characters!Does anyone successfully have triggers in a reef and if so which ones do you keep?
I've never worried about that, just make sure the food particles are big enough or they will not even look at them.Do they need something special to keep their teeth down? I feed my fish frozen mysis ect....
Sargassum trigger
How big is your Sargassum? I have one and its been with me for five years and she is still only about 4in. She just doesn't grow. I was just wondering if this is nornal?
Thats my 1st sargassum its about 4 inches now. From lots of experience he seems to have the kind of scales where it would be a slow grower, if that makes sense. Unlike a blueline, queen where they grow fast. Some fish also stop growing to the size of the tank unlike some fish that just keeps growing. Maybe thats as large as yours is gonna get in that size tank.
Are you in Canada? They have a Sargassum for sale at JL aquatics. They may ship to the States too. No clue.Sargassum is my favorite but not easy to find and I never had luck past a year with them. Blue jaws are generally safe. I had a niger for a year or so, was a model citizen, then overnight became extremely aggressive. I came home from work and found every fish in my tank in corners breathing heavily and the niger was just going from one corner to another taking out chunks of them. Was a bad day. I have also seen people keep Picasso's in their reefs with success. Any trigger may or may not eat your inverts but generally they leave your coral alone.
That's not what I want to hear! I'm on the lookout for a male crosshatch as we speak, and he will be housed with some smaller fish ... How big was yours??I had a large crosshatch Trigger in my last reef, it was a 565 gallon tank and the crosshatch started chasing and eating my blue chromis!! LoL
I had a Queen come up from behind me when diving in Bimini and took a nickel sized chunk of skin and hair from the back of my skull. Knocked my mask off and gave me a scare for a second. Didn't hurt till I got back on the boat, then, ouch.
