My triggerfishes

Triggerfish is one of the hardy fish to keep in the aquarium, it can adapt well in the tank. Initially, it will hide that is why the tank need to provide ample hiding place. Through time, it will start to move around. As for food, it will take some times before it starts to eat pellets. It likes market pawn more than pellets.

I have three different types of triggefishes in my tank. Each have its own characters.

1. Niger Trigger (now around 3 inches)
I got it a very small size (less than 1 inch), it is a easy going character that does not bored about other fish in the tank. It does not attack other fish at all. Do not like to move rocks. The colour of the fish changes from day to day between purple, blue and blue/green.

2. Picasso Triggerfish (now around 3 inches)
I got it a very small size (less than 1 inch). It is an interesting one, like to run 100m dash from the side to side non-stop for many times. Like Niger Trigger, never like to bore other fishes in the tank. It have a unique pattern in the body, that is why I brought the fish.

3. Undulate Triggerfish (now around 4 inches)
Indeed one of the aggressive fish in the tank, like to attack the Picasso trigger. Also like move the small rocks around initially. But now, it stop moving the rocks after realising I keep putting back the rocks to the original positions.. Like to hide in his territory area. Always alert and his eyes fellows around with you without moving his body. Very intelligent fish. I got it at round 2-3 inches about 9 months ago
