Niger Trigger

FishyFishy! · #1 11-14-2011, 01:23 PM

My Niger ate my emerald crab and 2 cleaner shrimp... but left anything with a shell alone.

Didn't touch my corals, but I've seen others that chomp away at them.

Right now is fish only tank plus shrimps.

Thank you guys!!!

If cleaner shrimp might not compatible, how about cleaner goby or some sort?

I've had mine since last Feb where my wife requested it for valentine's day. It has been a model citizen since.

What are the fish you have in your tank?

they are hit or miss from what people say most i have seen are actually fine in a reef, there are tales of them eating shrimp and bullying other fish, during feeding time most triggers are pretty dominant.

but mine was a saint as well for the couple of years i had him.
