Niger Trigger, Blue Spotted Rabbitfish, Dogface Puffer

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Need to find homes for these guys. I prefer all of them go to 6' tanks. They are in one now and easily use the entire length of the tank. A 180 would be great. Even bigger for the Trigger would be good because he will get very, very big. Slow growing though.

Niger Trigger 6-7" $40
Dogface Puffer 5" or so $15
Blue Spotted Rabbitfish 5" $20

Five Lined Cardinal Fish Free with other fish





Vancouver only.


I also still have a 2" Undulated Trigger that will need a home. Needs to be housed all by himself in a 55G or bigger tank. Amazing fish with loads of personality but just doesn't play well with others.

Ummmm...Depends. I guess for now a 90 would work. Long term I would say a 120G. For me its more about water quality and a healthy home than actual size. As long as they are not cramped of course.

I want the Trigger to go to a 6' tank for sure. The Puffer would be fine in a bit smaller.

I had a small one in my 90g he was doing fine... I would say it was about 3.5inches. The powerhead died and I put 2 stronger powerheads in there and took off the strainers cause the sand and debri would clog it very quickly. There was no way any fish could get stuck the opening was the size alittle less than 25cents unfortunately when I came home from work I saw the belly of the poor puffer against it he died the next day..... I feel so bad that I was stupid to think nothing would happen. I put gutter guard around it so there is no way any fish will succumd that painful way of death. I really love the puffers they have the most amazing personalities If you're willing to part with this one lemme know thanks.

Yeah you have to cover powerhead intakes around Puffers. Koralias are great for them though. Mine actually sleeps intop of a Koralia.

Yes as much as I don't want to part with him, I am going to. I know you would give him a good home too, so I would be happy to sell him to you. Let me know if you do want him.

He is not actually a Miniatus but looks just like one. He will get even bigger than a miniatus. He reaches about 24". He already went to a 300G tank. So he is in great hands.

Right now I am most worried about finding the Trigger a suitable home. He is reef safe people! Never touched corals, hermits, snails. Only thing I never tried with him was clams. I doubt he would touch them but who knows. Its always a risk.

The Rabbitfish is great. Eats all algae, even started eating chaeto! I was shocked at that one. He is quite the pig.

As for the Undy, I have a 75G that will be available. So, if someone wants to work out a deal for the fish, tank and maybe even some LR, I am willing to talk about it. He wouldn't necessarily need a system with a sump since he is all alone. Or maybe with a few damsels. I was going to just keep him with LR and a Remora HOB skimmer maybe. Or no skimmer and water changes twice a month would probably work.

So if you want a species only 75G, PM me!

No one interested in the Trigger?

Open to trades too. I am more interested in a good home than how much I get in return for them. I think the prices were decent...

Thats a gorgeous trigger. Is it pretty peaceful with other tank mates or is it aggressive. Just curious. I have a 225 gallon tank, so I have the room for it. I just don't want it to pick on my juv. achilles.
