triger
 

I was wondering what kind of triger if any van go in a 55g tank? it is only 12' wide. I want to set up a preditor tank so if not a triger what other kind of fish van go in there?


Brad

Perhaps a valentini (ie small) puffer and a hawkfish. No trigger, please.

How about a dwarf lion fish and a snowflake eel? Should make sure there are los of caves for everyone. :biggrin:

Danny,

you are a mind-reader. That was my suggestion too, although the snowflake will eventually need to find bigger quarters. Snaggle, if you're going to keep a carnivore tank, make sure you have excess filtration since they are either messy eaters or big "dumpers" or both. :eek:

Great minds think a like! :mrgreen:

haha you said dumper :mrgreen:

Dwarf lionfish are very cool, if they eat........right Danny ? :wink:

I've heard expert advice directing that dwarf lionfish will eat pods.

Those Blue chin triggers are suposed to be able to be kept in a reef tank with caution and stay small. Aquarium fish magazine just did an article on triggers that stay small and are reef safe. I will go through my issues and tell you what one it is.

Yes.

It takes a lot of pods to feed a dwarf lionfish however....it can be a challenge to get them eating frozen foods,
