Hi everybody and happy thanksgiving!
I have an empty 65 gallon aquarium, wet/dry filter, protein skimmer, and want to try a specimen set up with just a clown trigger. This will be my 4th try with the species. In previous tries, I was using a 29, but kept water quality impeccible. I fed largely frozen food, and fresh seafood of all kinds. The fish lived anywhere from several months to under two years, but seemed to thrive until right up toward the end. I have to believe if I buy a juvenile specimen, it should last 10 or more years, and I don't want to pull another one out of the ocean if it isn't going to last a long, long time. Has anyone here kept a trigger alive for several years?
