What other fish, and what size tank?

Actually, I used my buddies rubber landing net and put her in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid while I switched tanks. Taking the old tank down and putting the new one up took less than a day. Lotta prep work, though. Except for the actual netting part, she was surprisingly calm. When she went into the new tank it was like it was no big deal, she looked right at home. Even in the Rummermaid, she was just cruising around, spitting water out, biting the powerhead.

That is one amazing fish, wish the other videos were on YouTube, that's all I get on my phone.this is really making me want one large aggressive fish instead of a few medium ones.
 
im with you angel this trigger is changing my view on only having one aggressive fish in a tank. Wish my tank was about 80 gallons larger
 
If you can upgrade in the foreseeable future, I don't see why you can't get a smaller trigger and grow it out? Jerry's queen was in a 125g not too long ago. I plan on getting an undulated trigger since They stay a lot smaller, highly aggressive and great personality!
 
Great fish Jerry! The streamers will get much longer. The ones on my queen were easily 6 inches when mine hit 18" mark. The blue hues on yours are much better than the one mine had. Mine had more yellow tint.

Here's an old feeding video of mine.
 
My current "little" queen trigger is around 7 inches now. It has grown 2 inches in a year's time. I got it from LA at 5". I can't wait for it to reach this size. I highly recommend the queen trigger to those who can accomodate a single fish in a large tank. They are a great wet pet.
 
couldn't agree more!!!!! My favourite for personality. We have our queen in a 125 by herself with a few tiny hermits that hide out in the rocks. I'll try to get pics sorted and post for a comparison. Both of yours look great.
 
now after seeing this thread i may get a titan trigger thats at my lfs. About 2-3 inches for 30 bucks which i guess is cheap for these?
 
The upgrade cycle never ends LOL thats how i ended up here, but yes you would need large tanks ready as you go along with this hobby and as the fish grows. Again very nice Queen pictures, thanks for posting them.
 
Here's a video for you, Recty. For her morning feeding, she gets squid, shrimp, scallops and some mussels. NLS sinking pellets in the afternoon. Some of the pieces are cut smaller since the wrasse is still alive. Scallops are nickel size, squid and shrimp, larger than a quarter. This feeding was a little light, she was looking for more.
