Crosshatch Trigger Swimming Tight Circles Around Powerhead

they will often do that when bored or neurotic....try adding some hermits to keep them occupied...that will also allow them to act like the predators they are...

They don't really show any interest in crabs or snails right now...

Maybe since they're young?

They're more interested in waiting for me to feed them :uhoh3:
 
I too know this is an old thread but just had to chime in....
We recently moved our Niger from a 90 gallon to a 300. I thought I was going to be a hero. With all of that new swim space, I was certain I was about to create the happiest fish in the world.
Instead, the trigger has adopted a powerhead. He spends all day every day swimming around the powerhead over and over and over.
He will stop to eat, he will even play with the nori clip, but he always returns to the powerhead.
In the 90, he used to make runs up and down the length of the tank.
Sigh. Fish are odd!
 
LOL...

I moved the powerhead they swam around and now they seem a bit lost :P

We have all of our Jebaos wired up to the APEX now.

I rotate through about 12 programs during the day, and in the "reef crest" modes I notice the Triggers swimming a lot over the length of the tank.
