Question about a fish for a 120

[Yates273]

Is it possible I can put a blue throat trigger in a 120 gallon mixed reef? Anyone else have any type of trigger I’m their reef tank?

Man I would love one myself but I always here mixed reviews on them.

 

[Yates273]

I think I may get one if I can find one . They seem to be the only somewhat reef safe trigger and they are awesome fish. They have personalities.

That's why I like them myself, such cool fish. Hopefully you get lucky and find a model citizen.

I've debated getting one for my 125 but i do have some peppermint shrimp and heard they like to eat shrimp.

I had blue throat trigger for a few years in a mixed reef never had any problems but they tend to be a shy fish.

I am picking one up Next week hopefully!

From what I saw is once they are in the tank you can’t add shrimp but if there are shrimp already in tank you have a better chance. I guess every fish is different but I am getting a small one so I think I will be ok

Those non reef safe fish will eventually eat inverts, even if they were in the tank previously. I had a fanworm live for 3-4 months before my harlequin tusk decided it was the right time to eat it.

If for some reason this falls through Sea Level had two when I was there Sunday.

Just out of curiosity what are they charging there ?

Sorry I don't remember. Give them a call Home. Lmk if you go there I'll run down, they're close to me.

Salgado has them for $50.

Update both male and female are now $25 at Salgado.

I thought pink tail triggers are safer for the reef.

Grrr, so my guy picked up a blue throat for me and I can’t pick it up because I have Covid. Now I have to wait at least 10 days to get this guy. I’m pissed I really can’t wait to put this guy in my tank.

So far just feels like the flu. Not too bad but I’m only on day 3 hopefully it doesn’t get any worse. Thanks !

Send someone to get it for you. Or your friend can't leave it at your front door?

He’s gonna hold it in his shop. I’m just impatient because I really want him in my tank now, but I ll wait.
