Large Pair Blue Throat Trigger F/S - Coquitlam

[ferret]

Hi Untamed,

200gal fowlr + 40 gal sump is it too small for these trigger pair. Existing fishes I have in this glass tank are : 2 yellowfin breams @7" long, one white surf bream 9" long, 3 french grunts @ 4 -5 " long plus a small grey angel and one porkfish. Any idea ?

Whoa! Do you realize how big Yellowfin Bream get??? When I was in Eastern Australia last year and these are common fish at markets and are often over 2' !

Sorry I don't mean to take over the thread but those bad boys get enormous...Sounds like a cool tank though

Hi Greenspottedpuffer,

To my knowledge and experience, yellowfin breams seldom reach over 20" in length however, their relative the white surf bream can reach up to 30" long.
To me, the yellowfin bream are very smart and clever when I do the fishing in Hong Kong i.e. they can play tricks with you.

Sounds like they would be the smallest fish your tank! I'm going to let the advertisement sit there for a while and see what options are presented. I would like to find a home larger than 200 gallon.

Im sure Brad can answer this for you but as far as I know, they do not breed in aquariums. In the wild they go to deep waters to breed.

Buddies?....I would say that they tolerate one another. No, they don't breed. There's good natured chasing every now and then.

Of course, if you want to see them "live", just tune in...

Really? Both of them? It would be neat to see them go to someone I know so well. You could keep me appraised of how they are doing.

I know you really love your corals. I would want to warn you that the male Trigger fragged a digitata for me the other day. He doesn't bite them or anything...he just gets a good head-of-steam going and the coral doesn't get out of the way in time. (Digitatas are fragile...)

I wouldn't expect any problems with any other fish.

I'll have to talk to the Boss. And She's in Calgary until tomorrow night.
