It could be worse, I bought a peppermint hogfish ($$$) one of the fish on my must have list, he lasted 2 days (one of those being in the overflow) before my candy hogfish killed him. I had no idea they weren't compatible (couldn't find any info saying they weren't, guess I didnt' look hard enough). |
That's strange... why would a modest size predator eat a little fish?
Sorry, couldn't help it. If its any consolation my 2' snowflake seems to have eaten the 3" yellow coris wrasse that co-existed with it for the past 4 months. I never saw it happen, the wrasse has just suddenly disappeared. But that wasn't as bad as watching my 6" volitan lionfish try to eat a 3" sailfin blenny. The thing only fit halfway into its mouth and then it spat it out. |
That sucks, but lesson learned.

Brings back bad memories of when my Niger took a big chomp out of the dorsal area of my clownfish. I had to eventually euthanize the clown.....mistakenly thought that Niger triggers wouldn't attack similar sized tankmates.:(

So much for that Trigger being peaceful. Amazingly enough, he doesn't bother anyone else.

lunch
not as bad as when i first started reefing and bought a helfinger gobie(when i had more money than brains)-lasted 30 seconds-my male bird wrasse had a nice light snack

Are the Niger Triggers (correct spelling this time, Christy!) notorious for devouring small fish? He is only about 4" long. Should I consider getting rid of him? It would be sad if I had to - he is one of my favourite fish!
