What's on my trigger?

That's too much work n trouble. Just gonna keep feeding n keep them happy. Fishing each out now n isolating system will stress n make things worse imo.

I don't think ich has anything to do with how your triggerfish looks. They don't tend to be the first fish to show problems with ich. My guess is that is an injury, which will be gone soon enough. I agree with your strategy of feeding and general healthy practices.

Yesterday his wounds were really white and big. Protruding a lot. But today the white is gone and his skin rly looks like it's healing really fast. U can barely tell something was wrong. Still slight discoloration but I'm surprised it healed that fast

His wounds is pretty much healed but today he is upside down outta nowhere n almost dead. He was swimming n eating normally yesterday.. I took him out n put in a bucket with an air pump for now. Dunno how this can happen so suddenly...

Yup it's dead. How does a fish go from eating like a pig the day before and belly up today?

Thx man everything going downhill recently since new tank. My sps turning to **** now trigger dies unexpectedly. So I have a lil theory. I think my yellow tang is the culprit. This morning before I went to work I saw my trigger on the opposite side of the tank in a cave which is rly weird cuz he aways I his cave sleeping during that time and the yellow tang was in his cave. Just got home now n the tang still in the triggers original cave. So I'm suspected that he killed the trigger n stole his spot. They r pretty much the same size both 4-5" but the tang is a lot fatter. I just inspected the triggers body and I don't rly see any ripped or tears. Soooo I dunno.... But I wll do a 20g water change tomorrow.
