wat do u mean by hitch hiking....like when u got ur rock the mantis was hiding in them or wat?

[cheekyfemme]

[lesterclaypool1]

@cheekyfemme remove all your rock place it on or in tupper ware and wait he will exict the rock ,,, then place the rock back and tadaaaaa

[omniexistus]

pulled the car over the mantis was signaling with it's claw

[714RIPPER]

@rsputin12 yeah they do that. which is really bad. they can cause some damage. friend got a hitchhiker, started noticing missing fish after a while, and kept hearing loud ass clacks from his basement.

Trigger fish are predators of Mantis Shrimps.

[cheekyfemme]

usually yeh, you'd think a coral bandit shrimp would be a gonner, but he use to pick the clowns teeth lol. Each fish is different so you cant say what they are or arent going to do. Its a personal experience.

Placed in the tank always waited to be feed clams or hard shell shrimp.

She lived for a good 5yrs

strange how it says never mix them with... anything else or a reef setup.. but that was the setup i went with that 300g tank i had.

And my Red Sea Assasi Trigger never gave me any problems.

[consolewizard]

I feed it ONLY HIKARI foods.

[consolewizard]

How do you keep your CLOWN TRIGGER so nice with the colors? My Clown started off that rich black color and now its more of a brown color.

[usefulidiot227]

probably because you are feeding it a poor diet. That's generally the reason.

Triggers are just like little dogs. They always gotta have the attention. Cool vid.

[cheekyfemme]

unfortunately we dont have him anymore, he was just getting too big. He was a fantastic fish and went to a good home, he was such a big personality and we miss him. I really dont know why your trigger went brown, maybe something isnt right in your tank? Chad was always bright and vibrent. Why only hikari foods? It'd probably be alot happier with a variety. Mine loved squid, octopus, mussels, pipi's, whitebait, nori, pretty much anything lol (except my other fish) hehe. Good luck with yours.

[81kamill]

Sorry to hear you had to give em up like that to bad you couldn't get a bigger tank for em.

Heck if i was to come around this vid last year i would of offered to send you my custom made 300gal tank setup

I used it for my Red Sea Assasi Trigger she was a great fish she never... bothered any of the other fish or any of the invertebrates i

But probably would of been to big...

Clown triggers are great fish lol they are cute and all

just some people don't understand why they change color

[master4578]

funny fish dude lol

[master4578]

i love this vid

[SQUILLA898]

Yeah- seriously. I have lot of respect for fish-only tanks that have puffers and triggers, considering they'd eat all eligible cleaning crews. A lot of people usually clean live rock in a fish-only tank simply by scrubbing it, which I suppose is better than nothing.. Unless you can put the fish in another tank, then put in a cleaning crew let them work, take them out, then put the fish back in. That's a lot of work, huh? Money, too. Maybe it's not worth it!! But really- that mantis is brave!!!

[NavtheSav]

your clown looks really nice
