Bicyclebill Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I just got a blue throat trigger from OIAB today! I was looking for a blue or powder blue tang, but I've always wanted a trigger and from what I've read these are pretty reef safe. After I picked it out, Cosmo was actually petting him and rubbing his belly. Didn't even need a net to pull him out of the tank; he actually slid right into his hand and was ready to come home with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr S Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Cool fish. Nigers and Pink tails, besides crosshatch triggers are also reef safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Also sargassum are probably the most reef safe triggers. They have a differently designed mouth to use as a planktivore. Nice fish, do you have any inverts to test it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyK Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have a male and female blue jaw. Great addition to my reef. If a shrimp is small they will eat but they share the tank with a few cleaners, clams and a coral shrimp. Messy eaters but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjohnwoody Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Sweet fish. I'd love to add one, but with two tangs already and a lot of coral and rock it might be a bit much. Scared about swim room and bio load. Congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gradth Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have had a male, female pair for a couple years now. They are my favorite fish. Mine wont leave my hand alone. Watch out though, they nip on occasion. Mostly when im feeding. LOL. Also cover up your over flows if they are not already. Mine have both jumped in there a time or two. My male now sleeps with my cleaner shrimp. Have no idea how that works, but he 'trigs" himself into the rock with the shrimp and sits there all night while the shrimp climbs all over him.

Gill Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Nigers are reefsafe? They dont eat invertebrates? From what I have read triggers are reef safe like Pygmy angels are "reef safe" Some are ok with inverts, but others are not; regardless of the species.
