You should get way more fish. Lots more. That's not nearly how many can squeeze in to a tank. You can probably have at lease 80 more fish in there. No more small fish. Just 10-13" fish. Looks great! That song is awesome too. Are you a looney?
Even tangs don't belong in a 4 foot tank...no matter how skillful the aquarist or perfect the water chemistry, some things are just not meant to be in a tank this small...
Not meaning to be negative but I have to agree with others. I have a 5ft, 115g reef & I was having to really think about adding a 3rd tang! Let alone trying to squeeze in a 4th & angel & 2 triggers.
How would you feel being trapped in a small bedroom with 15 other people? ? You're insane keeping that many fish in such a small aquarium. You should only keep small fish in a nano tank. You should research the "minimum size tank" for each fish before adding them to your tank. I've only kept a reef tank for 2 years and i can tell you my fish actually seem happy; yours look miserable.
nice looking tank, and again, i dont care how well they look like they are doing, thats just mean to have that many fish AND fish of that size in a 4 foot tank, i feel like my 4 foot tank is overstocked and its only got 6 fish, the biggest of which is a 3" powder brown tang
Its great when people want to make a beautiful saltwater fish tank, but when its at the expense of the fish then its just sad. Your tank isn't beautiful, Its a great show of someone who can't control him/herself and buys every pretty fish they see without caring about them.
Look at that poor trigger, its constantly making 4'' circles in the tank, heartbreaking.
How bout you stop buying fish and save your money for a much bigger tank.
The worst part about this is how awesome you think it is
Balistoids are infamous for freaking out and killing everything in the tank they will even chew power cords. No way this tank looks like this now, never. If it is more power to you.
Balistoids are infamous for freaking out and killing everything in the tank they will even chew power cords. No way this tank looks like this now, never.
HI mate not sure if your on here still after a bit of info , i have the same ribbon eel as yours which i have had feeding for around 6months, but now it will only eat every few days where it used to take around 3 frozen each day, but ive noticed its head is starting to turn blue as its a black one now, just wondered if yours was black to start with or do you know if they go off there food when they go through the change ! nice tank by the way
Blue ribbon eels are notorious for being difficult to feed in captivity, and are difficult fish to keep for this reason. The colour change is due to it maturing from a juvenile into an adult.
yes mate i know like i say i have had this for about 6months and all is fine, its started taking more food now and its head about about 3" of its body has started to turn blue/purple! wonder how long it will take for the full change
hows your tank any new additions you still got the trigger?
"the 4' tank in effect is like a 8' cos there are equal amount of swimming space at the front & the back glass." lol that logic doesn't make any sense. A 4 foot tank is a 4 foot tank
I'd say that is overcrowded (mostly for the clown who doesn't have much room to cruise) but anyone who can get a ribbon eel to eat is a feet unto itself, and spawn clowns whilst keeping triggers and tangs with coral and coral banded shrimp all seemingly happy is worth listening and consideration - this was at least a year ago, be nice to know an update on the status
@pizcobabe thats not over crowded? you my friend need to do some more research. The rule of thumb for saltwater tanks is 1" of fish for every 3 - 5 gallons of water. That tank is over crowded but it looks as though it is taken care of very well. I hope this person has not done what some others do to triggers to get them to stop eating fish. They file the triggers teeth down to nothing!
my most favorite fish i ever had was a clown trigger that lived for ten years and grew bigger than my whole hand. he would swim up to the top of the tank and let me pat him on the head or hand feed him. was sad when he passed.
Mine is not like that. Maybe because I added mine first. (No choice) I put him with two other tangs so far and a goby. When food touches the water its like blood in the water! The fish eats none stop no one else gets any. Even vegetable matter for the tangs, Gone.... Never seen my clown trigger full even after feeding for two minutes straight. For the most part the CT does not touch the corals or snails. Even a hermit grab of one month. I won't be able to keep this setup. He is just too greedy
Okay, I got a clown trigger, about 4 inches long. The guy who had him before me had him with small fish and a tank full of hard and soft coral. When I get done settings up my tank. I'll post a video. It does appear some of these are more friendly then others. Maybe its the area they come from? Mine will eat hermit crabs and snails though.
I must admitt I would never suggest this to anyone else to put together. But I will also admit the fish do not look stressed, and the fact that they are quite old means that you are doing something right. Rules in the saltwater world are never black n white.
Kayjay. they are active because they have no where to hide. If you want you can take out all the caves so your fish wont hide and be constantly out like this. I wouldn't suggest it though. for the fishes sake.
mate! beautiful tank..awesome colours!...just a question..how do u get ur fish 2 be so ultra active? my fish swim around but they always sorta go back 2 their caves that i made with the rocks..=(..any suggestions?
If you want ultra active fish, take a gun, and every now and then, shoot at the tank. It might get them hyper. I used to have the same problem, but i tried it and it works.
Everyone commenting on this video about the tank being to small should stfu. your all repeating yourself and sound like idiots. If this guy wants to keep this in his tank, leave him alone.
Jesus buddy i have less fish in my 250 gallon tank. Even if its doing ok now ur in for some REAL trouble later. unless you have a 300 gallon sump XD but there still gonna kill each other
danielroberts is right, sorry to say it but this is a disaster in the making. The emperor ALONE is too big for this tank, then there are TWO tigggerfish, you will have problems keeping these 2 in any size tank long term, especially a Clown Trigger, eventually that will get real mean and kill most of these fish. Do some research ffs!
As everyone is saying this goes against alot of common rules. Tank too small for the amount of fish. Triggers mixed with corals and shrimp???? You must have an amazing filter system to keep up the quality of water. Maybe u r above us all??? Whats your secret??
yea it looks pretty crowded when i first saw the vid i thought the fish were going crazy but they have to move that much to stay out of the way of each other
Sorry to say...I agree with most of the comments left on this board. Nice tank, but way too crowded. Some of those fish really require a much larger tank. Unfortunatly, this is a trend too often seen. BTW, the music is creepy
lol i thought at first ... "ok he has 1 bigass trigger and like 4 tangs..... slightly overcrowded for 4 feet. THEN I see a matured emperor angel?!?! LOLOLOL dude sorry to say those poor fishies 1/2 will be gone within 2 months even if u have a good system, u cant keep it up to snuff with THAT big a bioload. hope ur rich cuz u blew money. send 1/2 those fish somewhere sustainable if u care.
I agree that he should get a bigger tank, but hes obviously doing something right, read the description, 10 years from a 3 foot and 3 years in a 4 foot.
u have a great aquarium i could recomend you to gett a bigger one ure water looks fascinating and very clear, youre triggerfish looks so healthy and everything only well he looks kind of big for youre aquarium but u have for me a 5 stars n___n
sorry mate I have a marine tank and its 4ft what your doing is wrong. for the fish you have you will need 10 4ft tanks.Its lovely but think of the fish. for a start a 4ft tank is to small for the clown trigger on its own.they need a least 100 gallon tank witch is about 400L and your tank is about 240L. that's for one clown trigger
okay...what the fuck now?? filed teeth? wow...ive alway had fresh water tanks but am thinking of going salt and i love triggers....can a clown and an undulated live together??? im not filing teeth though.
nice tank mate and really nice fish, i cant wait until my emperor and clown trigger get big! everyone of my fish are in a 100 gallon tank and are all 5 inches and less, take a look. how long does it take for the emperor to get to say a 7 inch size?
Depends on the eel. This is a ribbon eel which are not realy fish eaters. They like to eat crustations. A moray on the other hand would eat most of his fish. Nice tank by the way. I'm not sure how you have such a big clown trigger in a tank with small fish but you are very lucky. They normally eat anything they see. Looks a little over crowded, make sure you keep up on your water changes which i'm sure you know since you have had the tank for a while.
a ribbon eel is actually a moray... some morays are mainly fish eaters others (snowflake and zebra) mainly crustaceans. generally if you keep them well fed they won't bother other tank mates.
Those are very nice fish and a great looking tank but....... there is no way that your tank isn't overcrowed dude. I say this b/c you can see at one point the overall size of the tank and for saltwater fish that is PACKED! I guess you have to do alot of water changes!?
Thanks. I was feeding them with pellet at the left front so they can pack tg 4 a group video! They are a happy family with the nemos sprawns regularly, female shrimp filled with eggs, blue ribbon eel eats chopped frozen food, no fighting, all fat & healthy, 13 in Clown trigger feels at home. No bulky live rocks + the 4' tank in effect is like a 8' cos there are equal amount of swimming space at the front & the back glass. 30% water change once a month.
To qualify release in the tank, ALL fish (except the eel it eats frozen white bait) were individually TAMED until looked HAPPY in a SMALL floating container & be fed ONLY with cichid gold, spectrum maine GRANULES until looked FATTER; Clown trigger, LAST fish to add with TEETH painlessly filed down (like you'd do to a puffer fish), when teeth regrow months later it still wouldn't move a coral & you can hand pet it. The fishes never hassle each other or the shrimps.
That is retarded. Why would you ever put a fish through something as crazy as taking a file to its teeth. The puffer needs to chew on coral to keep its teeth down and if they dont chew on it, then you must file its teeth or they will die. The trigger on the other hand never needs its teeth filed down. How would you like someone to file your teeth down? You do not deserve to have fish.
Filing fish teeth is painless & teeth will regrow, he did no harm to the fish except helping with its training to live happily in this special community tank with shrimps & small fishes. It is a pet trigger!
painless, thats interesting. Even if it is painless, how is it ever a good thing to hold a fish out of water for a period of time while you file the crap out its teeth. It is extremely stressfull for the fish. You can think what you want, but if the fish do not belong in the tank together then they should not be modified to be put together. I have a 3.5 ft green moray eel, I am not going to grind his teeth down and tie his mouth shut so I can put a clown fish in the tank. get my point?
@dahermitcrab, giving them hard food will not grind the teeth down to nothing. It will simply keep their teeth from growing out of control. for example, puffers need to chew on coral to keep their teeth from growing too much to where they can no longer eat. Triggers chew on hard coral in the wild but still have sharp teeth to eat fish. He actually grinded the teeth down himself. Extremely RUDE!! However I do admit the tank looks amazing and he is doing something correct. Just way overcrowded!
holy crap, you've defied nature. How did you tame ur fish? Personally id get a bigger tank - BUT i do think your fish all look pretty healthy. Very healthy actually. must be those pallets? also i think they look very calm. im amazed that you've defied the text books and created a set up with trigger fishes and damsels. I guess the teeth fyling thing is like horses hoves being cut to size.
Thanks. It came as a funny shaped fresh water rock (sandstone?) which I further enlarged the middle cave, drilled more holes. It is a very strong support and now all covered with coralline algae and calcareous growth.
I got mine when it was in its juvenile black, that might help. At first i tried live goldfish and black molly without success. Only when i tried a dead red molly in a stick, it started eating. Now it eats readily chopped frozen white bait and prawn and i have kept it for 3 yrs now.
You should get way more fish. Lots more. That's not nearly how many can squeeze in to a tank. You can probably have at lease 80 more fish in there. No more small fish. Just 10-13" fish. Looks great! That song is awesome too. Are you a looney?

Do you know that Wikipedia says these eels refuse to eat in captivity and unlikely to survive for more than a month

Nice tank. But wouldn't the eel at one point eat the clown fish? My eel ate my clown fish.

Depends on the eel. This is a ribbon eel which are not realy fish eaters. They like to eat crustations. A moray on the other hand would eat most of his fish. Nice tank by the way. I'm not sure how you have such a big clown trigger in a tank with small fish but you are very lucky. They normally eat anything they see. Looks a little over crowded, make sure you keep up on your water changes which i'm sure you know since you have had the tank for a while.

This message was wrote before I found out this jerk took a file to his trigger's teeth so it wouldn't eat the rest of his fish. How sad.

a ribbon eel is actually a moray... some morays are mainly fish eaters others (snowflake and zebra) mainly crustaceans. generally if you keep them well fed they won't bother other tank mates.

Those are very nice fish and a great looking tank but....... there is no way that your tank isn't overcrowed dude. I say this b/c you can see at one point the overall size of the tank and for saltwater fish that is PACKED! I guess you have to do alot of water changes!?

Thanks. I was feeding them with pellet at the left front so they can pack tg 4 a group video! They are a happy family with the nemos sprawns regularly, female shrimp filled with eggs, blue ribbon eel eats chopped frozen food, no fighting, all fat & healthy, 13 in Clown trigger feels at home. No bulky live rocks + the 4' tank in effect is like a 8' cos there are equal amount of swimming space at the front & the back glass. 30% water change once a month.

how do those triggers not eat your shrimp or peck at your corals?
wiifan62 3 years ago 4
To qualify release in the tank, ALL fish (except the eel it eats frozen white bait) were individually TAMED until looked HAPPY in a SMALL floating container & be fed ONLY with cichid gold, spectrum maine GRANULES until looked FATTER; Clown trigger, LAST fish to add with TEETH painlessly filed down (like you'd do to a puffer fish), when teeth regrow months later it still wouldn't move a coral & you can hand pet it. The fishes never hassle each other or the shrimps.
musicsogo 3 years ago
That is retarded. Why would you ever put a fish through something as crazy as taking a file to its teeth. The puffer needs to chew on coral to keep its teeth down and if they dont chew on it, then you must file its teeth or they will die. The trigger on the other hand never needs its teeth filed down. How would you like someone to file your teeth down? You do not deserve to have fish.

Filing fish teeth is painless & teeth will regrow, he did no harm to the fish except helping with its training to live happily in this special community tank with shrimps & small fishes. It is a pet trigger!

painless, thats interesting. Even if it is painless, how is it ever a good thing to hold a fish out of water for a period of time while you file the crap out its teeth. It is extremely stressfull for the fish. You can think what you want, but if the fish do not belong in the tank together then they should not be modified to be put together. I have a 3.5 ft green moray eel, I am not going to grind his teeth down and tie his mouth shut so I can put a clown fish in the tank. get my point?
nitelifesrt4 3 years ago
what he means by filing down is, maybe giving them hard food so the teeth get ground down
dahermitcrab 2 years ago
@dahermitcrab, giving them hard food will not grind the teeth down to nothing. It will simply keep their teeth from growing out of control. for example, puffers need to chew on coral to keep their teeth from growing too much to where they can no longer eat. Triggers chew on hard coral in the wild but still have sharp teeth to eat fish. He actually grinded the teeth down himself. Extremely RUDE!! However I do admit the tank looks amazing and he is doing something correct. Just way overcrowded!

holy crap, you've defied nature. How did you tame ur fish? Personally id get a bigger tank - BUT i do think your fish all look pretty healthy. Very healthy actually. must be those pallets? also i think they look very calm. im amazed that you've defied the text books and created a set up with trigger fishes and damsels. I guess the teeth fyling thing is like horses hoves being cut to size.

Awesome tank! How did you make that middle structure/ what is it?
TheSchweiz 3 years ago 2
Thanks. It came as a funny shaped fresh water rock (sandstone?) which I further enlarged the middle cave, drilled more holes. It is a very strong support and now all covered with coralline algae and calcareous growth.

im surprised you managed to get it to eat.. ribbon eels usually have a 99% death chance in captivity due to starvation, very sensitive species.

I got mine when it was in its juvenile black, that might help. At first i tried live goldfish and black molly without success. Only when i tried a dead red molly in a stick, it started eating. Now it eats readily chopped frozen white bait and prawn and i have kept it for 3 yrs now.
