Undulated Trigger in aggressive tank

[jmccown]

I have a SHOW size Blue Ring angel coming this week along with a small undulated trigger. I've always wanted an undulated so I figured i'd try it. I have a spare tank I was going to put him in, but was wondering how he'd do in my aggressive/semi-aggressive community tank that consists of many tangs, triggers and wrasses. The undulated is around 3-4". Worst case scenario I pull him and put him in a tank of his own.

From what I have read these guys are one od the most agressive triggers, but sometime all fish arent what they say they are. If you have a Queen it might be a snack for it at 18"!

I already know about their aggression. But I'm going to try him in my 380 community and see how he does.

Be careful. Eventually this fish will attack all your fish and certainly never but your hank in the tank as well they WILL bit the hand tha feeds it.

undulateds are nice thier is one at a lfs with a vampire psudo from hell and they seem to tolerate eachother. The only problem I see is that if he is really aggressive in a 380gl how hard is it going to be to get him out

I have a clown trigger now in the 380 that is very passive. He has a huge appetite though. I hadn't fed them yet one evening when I got home from work and my finger accidentally went in the water at the usual feeding spot while adjusting my return pipe, the CT grabbed my finger. Didn't hurt too bad. Surprised me more than anything. I also think he realized that my finger wasn't food and let go.

I have never had a problem catching fish in my big tank. The only ones I can never catch are those dang wrasses because they are so fast.

I'll have them tomorrow, can't wait. First time mail ordering fish.
