Today was a great day just added two 14" gargantuan triggers first a
x mass island clown trigger The nicest fish i have ever owned Thank you Michael @ nyaquatic

and his alpha counterpart a 14" Kenyan Fuscus Trigger

I did a complete rock re-arange to reduce aggression and so far so good .they had a quick squirmish the clown was dominant and that was that .the only fish I'm worried about is a 8" goldenheart who I added 7 days ago and was just setelling in now he is back to stress mode .I believe he will come around though.

My set up is a 450 gallon 3'' sand bed 400lbs of live rock .Twin 40 gallon sumps little giant pump huge protien Skimmer huge UV sterilizer Fish:xlrg Mappa Puffer, Xlrg Giant Hawkfish , 5'' passer angle 24'' Filimbrated eel ,4'' Huma, 8''Kiri Island deep water Trigger,10'' Lunula Trigger ,8'' Gold Heart Trigger and my 2 new additions.these two new ones will be my last addition unless I come across a nice Y bar japaneese eel .


Ps sorry my water is so blurry its from the Fuscus stirring up the sand

Thanks I hope its years and not days. If things work out I will be very pleased .I know what these fish can turn into .I promise no matter what happens to update the thread so people can learn from my mistakes or my luck, cause thats all it is with triggers a roll of the die.

Thanks for all the compliments .I'll get some FTS later today and some video when iI feed them.

Sweet CT. I had one a shade bigger than that for a long time that I got from NYA too. Mine got some sort of internal parasite and could not get him healed up. I miss that fish ALOT!!

It seems like they are going to be ok for the time being.even the golden heart is mixing it up a bit.

 

[rnscross]

is the passer angel going to be aggressive enough with those triggers?

 

[chilwil84]

i would think the passer would be fine the mappa puffer being a slower less manuverable fish might get a little nipped up, but with all of those triggers together the angel, hawk and puffer might be able to go unnoticed.

 

[Reefers4Life]

Very amazing tank !! Those triggers look to be healthy fish, keep up the good work.

 

[happyjack]

Thanks again for the kind words.

It's been 7 days and so far so good .So far the only aggression was on day one between the clown trigger and the blue line .They nipped each other once and that was that.When I feed them they get a touch aggressive but so long as I spread the food around its fine.

Thanks a lot .I'm just keeping my fingers crossed .like I've stated they are getting along surpisingly well so far.their have been a few nipped fins but that was my smaller blue line trigger that I removed and replaced with a monster adult who is much better behaved and 4 times the size.The alpha fish is the 14'' Clown Trigger

That is a SICK tank!!! Not the first to say this but that is a dream tank of mine also (looks like your living multiple peoples dreams on here) I've never seen a large lunula like that, that long beak is something else! You can tell it is designed to chase food deep into the rock crevices.

Extremely beautiful fish and tank. Good luck and I hope it works out for the best
