Triggerfish Experiment

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The Humu triggers can get quite big too! I have swam with them around 12" in length. Sometimes even as big as 15". Very pretty fish.
 
I've always enjoyed keeping a humu trigger just for it's local name. It's full name is Humuhumunukunukuapua'a which sounds alot better than the translation to "fish that sounds like a pig".
 
Small fish, big name, gotta love those guys. Have you ever been bit by one though?? it isn't so nice.
 
I have a friend that has a group (5 fish 6-8") of niger triggers in a 180. No problems. He also has some lions in there too.
 
A buddy of mine has a Picasso with an undulated trigger in a 90 gallon. They do fine together. Bleleve it or not. I thought nothing could be put with undulated triggers.
 
stick with the more non aggressive triggers, like pinktail, and bluejaw...and u are goin to need a big tank for this many triggers. personaly i think that puffers have the most personality :thumbsup:
 
I had a pinktail showsize, black durgeon show size, clown trigger show size, picasso trigger show size, picasso trigger small, picasso trigger medium, blue line trigger medium, undulated trigger small, rectangular trigger medium, and a large huma all in my 150 with no problems. Then I changed around and I put my titan in my 150
 
I have 3 triggers together in a 75gal. The two bluethroats I have are females so they won't get that big. My third trigger is a pinktail.

thats ten triggers at about 8-10ft of fish total (im estimating)...that just seems dangerous to me.
