Sorry, mate it was hard to tell and I really posted that before I was ready lol if you want to give it another read I tried to say a bit about your fish ! looks really sweet though!

Oh no worries, I appreciate any comments and suggestions. I have done A LOT of research and try to know as much about what i'm keeping as possible, but I do have one problem....I go to my LFS a lot to check it out and sometimes I just can't stop myself from buying something.That is how I got "over-stocked" to begin with. Its like when women go to the mall...they just have to buy stuff...its killing me I know.

Lol but just a few comments on what you mentioned about the fish:

The Harlequin Tusk is the nicest most personable fish in the tank...the guy sticks his head out of the top to say hello when I come to the tank and lies on his side so I can rub his belly (funny i know).

The Imperator chases the Queen every once in a while ( the Queen is the last fish added), but never has it actually taken a bite, appears to only say "hey this is my part of the tank"

So far the Red Corris Wrasse is the biggest chicken in the tank, he was my very first fish in the tank and he still runs at the site of me...heck when I was trying to take a new picture of him earlier he went in the substrate!

I love all my fish but out of them all I dislike the Bird-nose Wrasse the most because he is oddly the most aggressive, he will chase the Tusk and the Red Corris at time, once again mainly during feeding times.

The fish I am having the most problems with is the Zebra Eel. I have read in numerous places they are the longest fasting eels and most frequent fasting eels...well so far the one I have has proven that. I have had him for about two months or so now and from what I have seen he wont eat ANYTHING. Maybe he eats at night and I just dont see it...but from the feeding stick he def. doesn't eat.

Just curious but I have always given my fish live feeders (usually very large marine shrimp, about 3" long) about once every two weeks because it tends to excite them and make them happier than usually, just wondering if those are healthy for them.

I thought the niger was one of the more passive triggers?

Thats what I have read as well...the LFS has this medium sized Blue Line Niger and man is he a little a-hole...lol. Every time I go to the store I have to put my finger up to his tank and watch him try and get me through the glass. Just because of this guy I have considered setting up a species tank for a Queen Trigger, but if I do that it wont be until I get my new place.

i have 2 fresh water snowflake eels the first one i got i didnt see him eat for 4 months, i put feeder fish in there never saw him eat tried frozen didnt touch it. but finally i saw him eating medium feeder goldfish i know its not healthy because of parisites and stuff. but now he eats any thing frozen, freezed dryed, flake food, so i would try to see if he will eat silver side minnows first before feeders. or you can put your feeders in a health tank and treat them. nice fish by the way.

passive trigger isn't saying a lot. As far as that goes it's true that's why I said they sometimes go nuts vs. all the time for a lot of them. I used to have one that loved fish eyes but, that's another story

Hmm I may have to try that...I have in the past just to get the Puffer to eat and no one really touched them, but I also didn't have the eel at the time. Thanks for the advise, once I get back from Dallas i'll have to try it.
