Hawiian Pinktail Trigger fish. Google it. Its black with white fins. I just got one. As they get older they fade to a dark dark green.

Then a queen 2nd

Then a clown 3rd

Sargassum. Nearly as good looking as a Crosshatch, but one fifth of the price!

Humus, picassos, hawaiian black bar triggers, whatevr you want to call them..........that's my vote

How can you choose just one!

How can you choose just one!

I studied Queen triggers for a while years ago and observing them in captivity and in the field in the Southern Caribbean they truely are spectacular fish with personality and attitude to spare!

However... in the wild for me the odds would have to be stacked in favour of nigers, while I've always thought thier colours to be subtle and far less goudy than thier cousins to see hundreds of them milling above the the reefs in the Maldives is nothing more than spectacular...oh with the odd 12'' clown trigger thrown in for good measure.

Then again..... 10'' Picassos in Mauritius and Hawaii in less than 5 ft of water..... undeniably awsome fish.

I haven't been able to set up a tank for many years due to the ever changing nature of my job, so I am envious of all you lucky ones who get to enjoy these awsome fish daily.

They truely are an amazing family of fishes ranging from bold ,brash and attention seeking to the gentle and somewhat elusive. How can you pick just one favourite!

Tom over at justrarefish.com just brought in what they are calling golden heart triggers from Africa. Pretty cool fish.

Red Sea Clown Trigger!

 

[bluerug]

Come on guys what beats the clown trigger. The nicest looking fish by far in the trade. No other fish has the colors like the clown trigger.

I heard someone talk about a dracula trigger fish, what in the world is a dracula trigger?

 

[bushwick]

I'm presuming they mean a red toothed niger trigger?

 

[bluerug]

Should there be a huge increase in price with this fish? Or should i just buy a niger and hope he gets nice big red teeth.

 

[bushwick]

From my understanding it depends on where they originate from. I have seen large nigers from Bali with white teeth. Our Australian ones have bright red teeth which look cool.

 

[luke05]

picaso by far so much personality

 

[ClamIAm]

no doubt it is crosshatch

 

[triggermen]

I'm voting for the Hawaian Pinktail. I had one of these fro several years with excellant color - deep dark green with a subtle crosshatch pattern of pale yellow. Bright pink tail and yelllow side fims !!!

Very active and friendly and would follow my kids fingers as they slid them along the tank.
