WTV: Blue-throat / Pink-Tail / Niger Trigger

[JTrigger]

Preferably 2-4"

Anyone seen any around near Vancouver?

I picked up a nice male blue throat from hidden reef the other day. I know they had a few niger's at the beginning of the week. I'm not sure if they still do though, you'd have to give them a shout.

Jamie, how big was the BT Trigger you bought? I've been looking for a juvy male for quite some time now, but they're pretty hard to find.

[Acro]

It's probably close to 4"

Called HR today --> Picasso, Clown, and some other non-reef safe trigger ...

Darn...

It must be the season for BT Triggers, I just bought one at King Eds today (of all places). He's about 3"

Good to hear. Good luck with it. Is it eating? If you ever see a female around please let me know.

[dirtyreefer]

Thanks Jamie. I just finished acclimating him, but haven't attempted to feed him yet since he went straight into the rockwork.

Yes, yes, I know I didn't quarantine!

I'll definitely keep an eye out for a girlfriend for ya.

[Acro]

Keep us posted!! I'd like to hear your experience as it unfolds.

Sorry if we are hijacking JTrigger, but I just wanted to give an update on my BTT.

He started eating the second day I got him (Wednesday), but is still shy when someone walks in front of the tank. He sure is a beauty though, he's swimming around more freely, but still likes to hide in his little spot. He is friendly towards all other tankmates (including 3 fireshrimp and many hermits/snails) and does not nip at any LPS (including blastos and open brains) or SPS.

Perfect specimen for a reef IMO. I've always loved triggers and it's harder to find smaller "reef safe" specimens here in the LM. Like I mentioned before, it must be the season.
