mattdog Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Devil, All the sources that I can find on this trigger says that it loves shrimp and other invertebrates. HTH, Matt Link to comment
FamousGuy Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 supposedly some of them are reef safe, its a gamble. They need at least a 75 gallon aquarium because they grow big fast and swim a lot, i just saw one in some restaurant yesterday. He was in a huge tank, had to be at least 400g long gallons and he swam back and forth end to end costantly Link to comment
flaunt Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 an lfs here has a big clown trigger in a tiny little bowfront that couldn't be more than 30-40g. poor guy. i don't think i could sleep at night having a trigger in an aquarium that wasn't massive. Link to comment

mattdog Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Devil, I am a biology major at Clemson University in South Carolina. I just did a little research in the library and remembered to look up something on this fish. I also asked one of my professors (who is a marine nut) and he highly advised against it.

Chunnie Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Over the years I have had a few triggers and shrimp living togother and I have learned the following: triggers like to eat shrimp very much! other than that they are one of the coolest, and most responsive fish I have had. Brad Link to comment
