Nasty triggers

[don-n-sa]

I have a few people ask me which triggers are the most aggressive in the aquarium hobby so I decided to make a list with pics.

Here is a few of the "not so nice" triggers found in the aquarium hobby...listed from the most aggressive to the least. There are more triggers but I will list the more aggresive ones.

1. TITAN--Balistoides viridescens---has been known to attack divers

2. QUEEN--Balistes vetula---when this lady grows up...do not have her with anything alive that you care about... :cry

3. BLUELINE--Pseudobalistes fuscus---can be as nasty as them all

4. CLOWN---Balistoides conspicillum---can you say split personality???

5. UNDULATED---Balistapus undulatus---ounce for ounce may be the nastiest

6. NIGER-- Odonus niger---crap shoot with this one...some play nice

My brother-in-law once had a Niger in a 55g, he wanted another trigger so I gave him my Undulated. The Undulated was half the size of the ******. In a month the Undulated killed his Niger. He was so mad he refused to feed the Undulated. Six months later he called me to come get the trigger because it wouldn't die. When I picked him up you would of swore he was over fed because how fat he was. I got ten bucks for him at Texas Tropical when I traded him back in.

i think for the majority a trigger is like a pit bull you get good ones and you get bad ones and so far all teh ones i have had i have had no problems with them. Yes i am getting to the point where i cant afford to feed them. LARGE pack of silversides and krill every week. i am looking for a blue line and a titan will take pics and post them here when i get them
