Two Fish For Sale Or Trade

[cham]

I am changing directions with my tank and want to get all small reef fish.

I have a 5" long red sea sailfin and a 6" long male blue throat trigger. I am willing to sell for $60 each or $100 for the two, or I will take small colorful reef fish in trade.

Both have had good reef maners, sailfin can be pushy but usually does not bother any other fish.

Sailfin pending sale to boostable.

how is your blue throat behaving in the reef? beautiful fish. how long have you had it?

 

[cham]

I've not had the blue throat long, maybe two months. I bought them both together out of another established tank.

Blue throat has not picked at my corals that I have seen, strangely yesterday he took a taste of my anemone but didnt bite or remove anything.

By the way, both fish will eat out of your hand. Both are very social with me. They love to block my view when Im watching my tank.

If I was sure the Blue Throat would not chow my clowns I would take him to..

I am fairly sure he would not touch your clowns. I have a clown in my tank along with 3 small 1" long green chromis. My sailfin dominates over the blue throat. Puts him in his place.

Ask around.

What about crabs, my other Trigger loved my crabs, has he eaten any of yours.. and what do you feed him?

 

[cham]

Only crabs I have are blue leg hermits and he has not eaten any of them.

Blue throats are considered one of the few "reef safe" triggers. But really its a fish by fish basis and you never know.

I'm not an expert on blue throats, I welcome any advice good or bad. I don't want to sell you a fish that will hurt your tank. If anyone wants to chime in and give real feedback.

You have anything to catch him in? I dont want to use a net

 

[cham]

An hour of netting. One rock slide and a few cuss words later.


Both fish are sold.

Thanks boosted, let me know how they are doing. A tank picture would be great.


Back to rescaping my tank.

 

[Boostable]

They are doing well.... settling in nicely and both have eaten. I will try and get a shot of the tank with both of them in it tomorrow..

Thanks again...
