Re: Need help with fish choice by Friday! Before they get split! I have a clown trigger which is fairly small. He ate my skunk cleaner shrimp withing 3 days of puting him in the tank. I believe the triggers will also eat your crabs and snails and will tear appart the feather duster. Even my choc chip starfish got eaten. There are so many pro's of having triggers, but there is also a huge con about having triggers - they eat anything and everything, but they are such a cool fish. I love having a trigger.
Mine clown trigger eats all kinds of meaty foods. I mix it up every couple of days between LFS bought frozen cubed mysis shrimp, conch, and muscle. I also go to the grocery store and buy fresh shrimp with shells on and muscles (uncooked). My meat eating fish love that stuff.
I am not sure on the compatibility with two such similar triggers. They may seem like best buddies now, but when they mature they may fight each other.
Best bet is to google trigger fish and get all the info you can on them before purchasing them. Then you have to come to terms with never having crabs, snails, especially shrimp, and other inverts in your tank, because (believe me from experience) they will get eaten.
I hope this helps. |
