ccampbell57 Actually the mac angel is boss of the tank,but nobody messes with my queen trigger .I think the passe angel is on its way to being the boss though.I am just curious have you ever had a titan trigger that was 9 inches?My queen trigger is 12 inches now and it does not bother anyoneand it has been in there for about 10 months.

Hey Reefer - No I have never personally owned a Titan. I had a friend in California who owned a Shop there that had one and it was fine till it reached about 8 inches. It didnt kill anything, but every fish that was in the tank had gouges in the them and massive torn fins.

He was a great fish and very personable until you fed it and it was like a hurricane went off!

I am stoked that the Queen is doing good. That is one of my favorite fish, but I just hear too many horrer stories about them to get one.

I would love to see a video of your tank as you have some beautiful fish.

ccampbell57 Thanks for the compliment.I have had a lot of queen triggers and as long as there added last and have lots of room I have never had a problem with them I think there rep is a little over hyped.An undulated trigger on the other hand is the terror you read about thta is why mine so small.I also think fish are more like us than we think they all have different personalities in the same species example I have 4 niger triggers one of them is mean as sin and the others are like playful dogs and do not create any problems.I would love to see your tank aswell please post some pics,I will try to get some video of them one of these days.

reef I will get some updated pics once I add the live Rock back in. I just added a clown trigger and a Queen angel so I had to re-arrange the rock to get my Emperor and Blueface to release their territory.

I am hoping to do this by thanksgiving. I will post pics.

My Gray Trigger and the two Bluelines are the ones that bite.My Gray trigger has taken a chunk out of my finger and made me bleed pretty good and he was only 5 inches then!!!My queen which is good size around 10-12 inches never tries to bite me.The Titan is just to small now but time will tell with him.The worst fish I have for biting you is in my reef tank, a bluestripe clownfish if you go near his anemone he will attck you like a rabid dog!!!!

hey Reef- I am looking forward to getting the tank back up to what it was 8 weeks ago. My bluface is just over 7 inches and has a nice large belly. Both he and the emperor ate about the same size. The queen angel is only 5 inches.

There is a show size blueface available ok Saltwaterfish.com right now. I have ordered a ton of stuff there and been happy with everything.

Check it out
