Picasso Trigger antics

my2rotties · #1 02-13-2009, 06:36 PM

Mine is quiet during the day but in the evenings he chomps, clicks, and snaps. It is funny since we really thought our powerhead was making those noises. I didn't believe my hubby it was the Picasso for the longest time since I was never looking at his mouth when he did the noises. My guy is just little fellow about 3" long and is a favorite. He gets along with everybody so far, but I did read they can turn out nasty later on. I am hoping not, but will deal with it when the day comes.

What happened to yours'?

he would constantly talk to you, follow you as moved around the room. and would reorganize any piece of rock he could manage to pick up. frags never stayed in the same spot. when i got him, he was in a tank by himself and i added a few fish, without any issue of him being overly aggressive. he would establish the pecking order, with him at the top, and the rest of the fish would get along well.

i hoping it was just old age, the guy i got him from had him for years, as he was tiny when he first got him. he was 6-7" long and nicely fat!!. i had him for 2 years before he passed on.

So sorry to hear that. At least he had a long and happy life.

I thought it was normal Trigger behaviour for them to "click" their teeth? Or maybe it's just the Piacasso.. I still like to pretend I know things even thought I'm not in the hobby anymore...

I read they make grunting noises but have never heard mine do that yet. Now that it is evening he is starting to chatter and click. I was moving stuff around the tank tonight and he nipped me pretty good. No blood but it felt like a pinch with a pair of pliers. That will teach me for not feeding him prior to sticking my hands into the tank and not watching him. I really love the little guy.

All the stuff I bought from you is doing wonderful BTW... the toadstool has almost doubled in size and the torch is huge. The plate coral is still the same but alive and well, although it really doesn't do much of anything. Its pretty and pink and that is all that counts.
