Niger Trigger

[Anonymous]

What do you feed your Trigger?......and how often? I feed mine 1-3 times daily with Krill,Shrimp,chopped perch,and pellets.

I feed my titan trigger about 2-3 times a day. I rotate krill, prawn, squid, clams, mussels, brine shrimp, bloodworms, silversides, Omega 1 flake, Formula 1 frozen, feeder grunts, ghost shrimp, and plankton.

If I'm feeling nice I'll feed him an urchin or mithrax crab.

Peace,

Chip

Nigers are also planktonic feeders. This is part of why they're the closest thing to a "reef-safe" trigger there is. Couple that with their timid nature, and they become anathema to the trigger name.

My 50 gallon sprung a major leak about two weeks ago. I had to quickly place all the inhabitants in my 100 gallon with my Niger,Snowflake,and Foxface.. Well ee took out my Coral Shrimp but left everything else alone so far.(Turbo's,Hermits,Emerald Crab,Thorny Star,and Fighting Conch. My Pepperemint Shrimp are gone too.

I love this fish.....Fins(had to name him/her) was extremely shy at first and would hide when anyone walked in the room. Now he recognizes me and is almost eating out of my hand. He still hides when my "wife" the harlot walks in the room(not very often...it is my room). She is mean and I guess Fins knows it. LOL Is there away to sex them? How are you doing? :wink:

Bangbang - watch out , my trigger was shy as heck for the longest time - he nips me now whenever I'm in the tank. Great fish though - Mine eats mysis shrimp and formula one and two pellets.
