It should be the same, but i have seen lfs sell many things as different names.

Undulated triggers are very secretive fish, but if they decide to they can kill your whole tank. Other than that great trigger that stays small but is mean as hell.

Yeah I was just rereading your list of aggressive triggers, I've counted out undulated, and blueline... I'm looking into the rest...
 
Heres the thing...you shouldnt feed your preds FW fish...so you CAN buy a big pair of mollies, and they can be kept in SW. Thats what I have been feeding some of the preds in my lab at least.

I meant SW fish that breed fast and easy. I already have a 20 gallon full of guppies for my FW fish, I never even thought about feeding those to my SW fish...

I agree, mollies (especially sailfin) can be kept in salt and bred as a food source. being that's true theres no reason to feed any freshwater fish as mollies are cheaper and I find that market shrimp, scallops, mussels, and other marine seafood are cheaper to buy in bulk and freeze.

edit: and being that the above seafood can be fed to both feshwater and saltwater fish alike, I personnally am planning on discontinuing the mollie breeding for that reason and simplicities sake, I need the garage real estate back for my work bench anyways.

Yeah. I feed market shrimp and massivore to all my FW fish, but starting off not all of them took to it which is why I have a tank full of guppies. I just would like to be prepared in case one of the fish I order doesn't take shrimp right off the bat.

If its not already on frozen or fresh/pellet, you shouldn't buy it. Keep that rule in mind when buying saltwater fish. Most of them do, and if you find ones that don't, they have a less chance of surviving.

Yeah but I'm ordering fish online so that info isn't readily available... just want to make sure all my bases are covered.
 
My skimmer cup has a crack in it... Anyone know where I can order a replacement?
