Shark/Fish compatibility.

I have heard that Triggers cant go with Sharks, but what about a Clown Trigger? I was thinking of a Bamboo or Epaulette with one. WHat will he do, if he wont get along with the shark?

 

[phoenix]

Clown Triggers can be pretty aggressive

 

[stykthyn]

triggers are notorious for "nipping" sharks to death.

 

[binaryterror]

Oh, thats not good.

 

[binaryterror]

What about an Atlantic Sharpnose, or Smoothhound shark. Since they are requiems, will they still be picked on?

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Atlantic sharpnose is the requiem shark. Smoothound is the Triakae shark but both are free swimming.

I have a niger and an undy with a bamboo shark...the triggers and shark don't ever come in contact and if the shark comes around the trigs they hide. The Shark proved he was king of the tank from day one.

This is from personal first hand experience...not heresay, which is what alot of people go by around here.

Thats interesting. Can you explain what the difference is? Does one need a bigger tank than the other?

 

[stykthyn]

all free swimming sharks need tanks in excess if 1000 gallons. I would avoid these in the home aquarium.

 

[binaryterror]

I see. But a Clown Trigger wouldnt pick on a requiem shark, now would they?

 

[stykthyn]

I wouldnt put anything past a full grown clowntrigger

 

[mitzel]

full grown triggers have been known to go after sharks and divers .

 

[stykthyn]

the atlantic triggers we have here love to nip, specially if there is a fish on the end of your speargun

Well they are from different families, but triakae species tend to be less active.

Ok, I am now looking into an Atlantic Sharpnose, for my lagoon. They only get to be about 33", so it should fit nice. Anyone know where to get one?

 

[binaryterror]

I have been searching, and changed my mind to a Brown Smoothhound shark. Less active, and stay smaller. Better suited for my 350g.
