Pinktail Trigger

CPD: I can see why you wanted one. The PTT that you got is a stunner. Hope your success is long lived as well as your PTT. Beautiful.

Cheers Almond. Today was the first time I've done a water change since I've had him. I always blast my rocks first with a trukey baster just before a water change and I was a bit nervous of his teeth:grinyes: Luckily he's a big wimp and hid in the rocks until I'd finished!!

Just keep an eye out. I never doubted he wouldn't harm the corals--that's not on their menu. I just fear for your crustaceans, but if you keep him fat, he may never go for them.

That's one reason I went for it. I do "over feed" my tank slightly:lipssealedsmilie: I'll have to try and get a photo of one of the cleaner shrimp cleaning him. That's quite a sight to see!!

Well, it's been 3 weeks now and "Trigger" (I know it's not original) has settled in well. I still have both of my cleaner shrimps so I'm really pleased about that. I always give my tankmates a squirt of food once a day from a mayonnaise bottle that consists of: mysis, krill, plankton, marine feast, mussel, cockle, cyclopeeze, crushed garlic, and abidec all mixed with RO water. On top of this I now get a jumbo prawn still in it's shell and hold that in the tank for Trigger to eat. Because his mouth is so small (but his teeth so sharp!!) I've noticed that he'll bite a bit off, chew it a bit, spit it out and then syphon it back in again. Unfortunately for him, my other fish have caught onto this and as soon as he spits it out they go in for the attack. Meal times can be such fun:grinyes: My cleaner wrasse sticks to him like glue!!!

Anyway, here's a couple of updated piccies for you all.







I've got to say, he's fast approaching being my favourite fish!!!
