    Sick Niger Trigger?

    Hey you guys.....thanks again for all the support. Funny thing how u can get so attached to fish. Lol. I got some weird looks when people heard I was upset over my fish dying. Anyways I guess u guys understand how it is. Non-fish people don't really realize that fish can be so personable. My...

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    Hi everyone, well....I have some sad news. It seems like all that playful behavior was his last hurrah. :( Funny how we really didn't know his personality until he was on his way out. We found him on Sunday morning. By far the biggest and best personality in our tank. Since the second water...

I'm hoping this means that he's feeling better....fingers crossed....will post some...

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    Hi guys. Um...well he's still looking extremely sick, but I guess it was wishful thinking on my part to just think that after the water change he would be back to his usual gregarious self. @pandora, we are doing small water changes over a couple days time instead of one massive water change. We...

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    I totally understand what you are sayin :) and I will remember all you have said, but that being said, I guess the best thing I can do right now to avert/avoid a potential crisis, is to get started on the tank, which I will....asap! Thanks and I will update!

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    Mine used to looooovvvvvveeeee him some shrimp too :) I tried throwing in a couple these last few weeks to see if I could entice him to come out....so far, nothing :( I'm assuming he's eating though because even though I haven't actually seen him eating, he's still alive after three weeks...

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    @James, honestly, I hate to actually say it out loud, but this is the most stable that our tank has been in years. We spent a lot of money to upgrade our filter, put a proper sump outside and ran the piping out of the house, re-wired our chiller, re-did the lights inside the tank and invested in...

    Sick Niger Trigger?

    Hi everyone, I'm new here and have seen how welcoming and helpful you guys are, so I'm hoping someone will have had a similar experience and be able to help. For a couple weeks now, my Niger Trigger, who is usually zooming around the tank, has been very lethargic, there are two particular spots...

    Is my Blue Throat Trigger Sick?

    Thanks for all the advice from everyone. :) The Trigger is looking a little better, though he is still hiding alot...when I can spot him among the rocks his colour looks normal and his breathing appears to be normal also. Our setup right now is a 300 Gal reef tank with an external sump...

    Is my Blue Throat Trigger Sick?

    Um....ok....thanks for the advice I was thinkin maybe he was stressed out at the new environment. Thanks augustus for the advice- the fish were in a quarantine tank for about two months which is something we started doing since we lost so many of them in December. Maybe I should have mentioned...

    Urgent help needed!!!!

    Hi all. We need some urgent help for our 300 Gallon. About two weeks ago, we got two clownfish, and a purple tang from one of our fish guys. Since putting them into the tank, we have had multiple deaths inside the tank and are now trying to save our fish. About two days ago a huge Emperor Angel...
