I just bought a clown trigger

twwisted1 · 09-09-2011, 11:20 AM

I just got a clown trigger and he eats like a horse how much should i actually feed him my store is next to a bait shop so i get free live ghost shrimp i put 3 in there everyday and he eats all of them after the chase for an hour.He also lays on his side to the shrimp before he attacks them like he wants something from them when they dont he eats them.So any input would be great thanks

3 a day is alright. He's waiting for them for clean him, like a Cleaner Shrimp.
you could drop the feedings to every other day.

This is brian and he has a great personality.When i put the feeding pole in for the eel i have the trigger bites at it. i couldnt figure why so i rubbed the side of him with the smooth part of the rod and he loves it like a dog i stop he bites it again so i rub the other side hes the coolest fish ive ever owned.No pics yet my camera flooded and im waiting for it to come back.I have a dogface striped puffer in there with him and there best friends they hunt together.my eel usually steals the food when they kill it though LOL none of the work and all the rewards

They tend to leave the Cleaner Shrimp alone.
