finally got the camera back! (many pics)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Looking good. I am on the hunt for a Niger around 5" now. There is a Queen at my LFS but I am afraid of adding one. Love seeing them bro. I too am a trigger fan.
 
Niger is looking really good, they tend to do that if you can get the right light onto them.

I think I may or may not include another niger in this setup once I have all the inverts I want into it.

That probably wont happen if I add a third tang.

The hippo tangs do seem to be very fast growers. Very nice collection you have.

thanx, it has been the fastest for me thus far.

thanx, you'd be suprised the hart a niger has. mine is the smallest and it takes not sh^t from anything. i have also seen a 3" niger with a 8-9" mean ass clown and it didn't have a mark on it. in fact the clown was nipped up:screwy:. i like queens, but they just get to big for what i can do right now. triggers all the way!:headbang2

thanx, i can't have any inverts with mine niger:irked:, haven't tried the others. snails, shrimp, crabs(hermits or emerald). nothing hits the bottom in whole. if i sneek it in there when the niger isn't looking a week tops. it doesn't mess with my scooters though.

That Humu is the bee's knee's man

thanx, it is deffenatly one of my prefured triggers.
 
Strange, with nigers small mouths I basically describe them as reef safe.

Like I said though, I would add inverts first, niger last.

the crabs, snails and shrimp were in first, back when i had the 20gal. it was just the pair of clowns with the inverts then i got the niger. i got the niger cause i herd that they were 'reef safe'. after a few weeks the started to vanish and all i would find is parts of husks. then i added my clown trigger, with more inverts. both the niger and the clown ate them. in the resent past i have added some more inverts only to have the niger more agressivly attack them. since i couldn't have inverts with the niger and i opened a new addiction to triggers i got the other triggers to go with it. i'll get some inverts for the sump to go with my blennies, as i don't want to risk them when the triggers are over 1'. i may have a unique niger that likes inverts.

Is your tank always that dirty?

no, but i need more flow and rocks. the ammonia/nitrate is always 0 and the nitrates stay at 5-10ppm or below.
