Blue Throat Trigger Pics

[DarthSimon]

Got a nice pair.... They seem to be doing very well... The male is out and about, all over the tank, and eating very well... Female is still hiding most of the time. She did come out and eat last night... I saw her swimming this morning before the lights came on, but once on, hiding... Hopefully she comes around... here are some pics of the male... They are both 3 inches..

Nice fish, I really like the bluethroats

Any trouble with coral/invert nipping

Nice looking trigger. I have a blue throat and it is the greatest fish.

i havent had any trouble with my blue throat. Been great in my tank and very active.

My wife said the female was swimming around today when she got home from work... As well as ate some food...

I really, really want one. Too bad a 90 is too small or I would be all over them.

Yeah, trigger up and mouth open, was a good catch.

Bluethroats are awesome. I love mine... although 2 peppermint shrimp have disappeared. Beware...

Guys,
On closer inspection, the female looks to be a male.... Take a look... Got a pic this morning... the so called female was out and about eating well...

They were sold to me as a pair...

It does look somewhat male-ish, it doesnt have the blue throat yet though.

 

[DarthSimon]

If it turns out they are 2 males will they coexist?

 

[R.W.]

i was just going to say, that looks like a sub-male. I doubt they will coexist.

In a 220 you might do just fine with them, they are pretty peaceful as far as triggers go.

For what it's worth, nothing even guarantees a male/female combo will last in a tank, sometimes it just doesnt work out.

I'd give you 50/50 odds of it working out, especially since they are small.

When they hit full adult size you might have some issues, or that second male might stay smaller and not so colored and not "**** off" the alpha male.
