Or a male and a female.

The smaller the better.
Going in my 525g 10' long.

Let me know what you've got or what you've seen. + sizes and prices.

Thanks
Rudy
 
I have owned two cross hatch pairs. The best way to find them is to talk to your LFS and have them look for them. The last pair that I got were from Capistrano Reef.
 
I'm kinda looking for someone that is selling a pair from their tank, I'll check my LFS if I don't find any.

Thanks
 
I would think twice... They dont do well in tanks...

+1. Both pair of cross hatch that I had did not behave like typical triggers. While most triggers will learn to eat anything and tend to adapt well in the tank, the cross hatch were very picky eaters. They also stress for a while until they get used to the tank. Keeping their color bright is a challenge

I didn't know they were picky eaters, I have read the color may fade.

Doing more research now...

Thanks for the info

I believe that the color fading is diet related. I struggled to get them to eat a variety of foods. I also tried soaking foods in vita-chem, garlic. Zoe, vitamin c and selcon but the color still faded.

I read that they were plankton eaters so I tried both frozen and dry plankton. I could get them to eat the dry plankton soaked in selcon but it did not help the color either.

Both pairs would eat PE Mysis, scallop, shrimp and silverside. They would eat pellets only on occasion and not with any gusto. No interest in flake.

The color fades over the course of about 6 months.
 
I have a friend that has a pair for sale...over a year in captivity so far...hes out of state though but ships all the time..he owns a lfs...pm me if u want his info
