Undulated Trigger

Long shot but...

I have a small 2" Undy that I am thinking of finding a home because I am no longer going to be setting up his 75G....If I can find someone who has either a 55G (minimum) or 75G FOWLR that they want to dedicate to this one fish. He will kill mostly anything you try to keep with him, so he needs to be alone or with a few damsels that will slowly go missing. Amazing fish though! Lots of personality and is getting friendlier and friendlier as the months go on (Undys are known to be mean and shy)

Free if you can give him a good home. Please do not even bother asking for him if you plan to "try" him with other fish...It will not work.

I don't want to take a chance shipping him. Sorry. I have never shipped livestock and am not going to start with this guy.

I am not in any rush to find him a new home. He has 3/4 of a 75G to himself now which would be fine for a few years but I just thought I would see if anyone local wants to give him a long term home.

Going to be hard though because they HAVE to commit to keeping a tank with just ONE fish. Im sure most people have heard how aggressive Clown Triggers are, well in my experiences, Undulate Triggers make them look soft

The nice thing though is Undy's stay much smaller than Clowns.

I had one years ago with other fish i think they are a bit overrated as far as being killers.

Probably more a case by case as per most fish some bad some good. Now Titan trigger thats a whole other thing.

Well you may have had the exception I think. I have heard of many that kill entire tanks once they get big and aggressive. As for this guy, two inches long, had him for two months and he has killed two damsels and destroyed a 6" puffers tail (that has not grown back yet

). He needs to be on his own.

The last one I had before this (5 years ago) killed a tang before I took him back to the store who told me he was a community fish

It does depend on the individuals but Undulates, Queens, Titans and Clowns are amongst the most aggressive and should be kept solo for the most part. When they are younger they do fine but its almost inevitable that they will start getting very aggressive around the 7" mark.

My Niger Trigger is getting ridiculously aggressive at about 7-8" now too.
