My newest fish

[Trigger Man]

Looks like the fins are a little icky but triggers are a strong bunch, I give it a week and there will be no more visible sympthoms. Nice looking fish by the way.

Ya, he might have a bit of ich. My other fish (other then my puffer) seem to be somewhat immune to any ich in my tank, but since he's new he might of got some. Hopefully as he gets used to the tank etc. the ich will go away.

Yup, I like my fish. Was just having my morning coffee before I headed out to work.

Congrats ! You have a Black Blotch Trigger (Rhinecanthus verrucosus) like my Trig-no-Metric Functions...he is 11...lol

Commonly confused and misnamed the Bursa, however the true Bursa trigger is the Sufflamen bursa

so the ick was from your tank or your fish came like that? how do you decide what fish you will add to an icked tank and what not to?

Thats how my tank works. New fish come in, always get ich and then fight it off in a week or two with good feedings and water quality. Usually takes about 2-3 rounds of fighting off ich before all signs are gone.

Nice fish BTW!

That's odd I can't find any pictures on the internet of a black blotch trigger, but when I type in bursa trigger the same type of trigger I bought, image shows up.

Not all of them match of course, but most of them are the same.
