Trigger agression

[HABS#1]

So I added a triangular trigger to our reef and he is fitting in of but he is a tad agressive towards the chromis and the chocolate tang it is quite funny watching him swim around with teh other fish. The only other thing I have noticed is he does like to have our cleaner shrimp give him the once over atleast once a day. He also seems to like to make a huge mess with all teh gravel he picks up off the bottom chews on and spits out all over the corals and rocks etc. Is his temperment towards those fish going to change or will it continue or get worse?

What is a triangular trigger?

i think he may mean the rectangular trigger.

Everything sounds normal. Once the pecking order is established, hopefully the fish aggression stops.
I hate how my Picasso spits the sand on my corals, and rocks, but they are great fish.

LOL ya rectangular no idea why I insist on calling it a triangular could be from the triangle shape near his tail I guess or because that is what my son named it was triangle.

Thanks for the input George we only plan on keeping the trigger for about 6 months just till he grows some more he is currently only about 2.5-3 inches long we want to keep him till he gets to about 5 or 6 inches then we are trading it back in on another small trigger.

That's actually a very good idea. What happens if you get attached to the little guy?

Can you show a video of the shrimp cleaning the trigger? I would love to see that.
