Blue Throat Triggerfish

[supervdl]

I have one and it is one of my favorites. Well behaved and after being used to his surroundings not shy at all.

Ok, thanks! I have frozen mussels on the half shell handy, and Damm if he eats them. He has been in the tank for about a month, and the only thing I've seen him eat is a random poop. He is getting skinny, darn him.

Oddly enough, mine doesn't care for mussels much. Trust me... Try the clams. Most of my fish and mantis shrimp go crazy for them...

+1 on this, I tried some black PEI mussels a while ago and almost all of my fish, including the Blue throat stayed away from them.

Little neck clams on the other hand, they can't get enough of.

Good luck it's a nice looking fish. I agree on the QT comment of the prior posts - I qt everything no matter where it comes from.
