The trigger has been well behaved, so far. He comes out from the rocks more when he eats, grabs food, and goes back down or into the rocks. He does hang out quite a bit outside too and seems pretty gentle. He really likes shrimp, frozen food and mysis. He will eat flake food, but it is not his favorite.
The powder blue did not eat for the first 5 weeks no matter what I through at him. He got so thin I thought he would die in a number of days. I finally got him to eat algae using veggies clips. He then started eating flake food. Now he eats as well or even better than the others. I think he is just stupid because he has trouble locating food unless it is directly in front of him. He gets his share now though. He is gaining back his wieght over the last three weeks of eating. I haven't had any issues with the health of any of the fish. I am running 2 bio wheel sumps, both with Bio filters in them and a
UV Sterilizer.
I was not into fish at all and then I purchased a new house. The house came with a 300 gallon built into the great room wall. The other side is in what we use as a computer room. So it is kind of nice that you can see both sides. We talked about making the tank a china cabinet. My old college roomate, who helped me move, talked me out of it. So the world of
saltwater fish started. The only fish that came with the house was a yellow tang. It took me 8 weeks to get the tank
pH,
salinity, etc under control before I added more fish. The lawnmower blenny was the first fish I added and kicked butt eating the algea.
I figure the tank can handle a couple more fish, depending on the size and temperment. If I did it right there should be some pictures attached. One from each side, and a shot with 5 of the fish in it.
