triggerfish
Mitch asked:


im a going to be purchasing a 55 gallon saltwater tank from someone off craigslist in the next couple days. This will be my first saltwater tank and was wondering what kind of fish will be able to live in it and will get along with each other.

Here is a list of some fish i like clownfish, Flame angel, snowflake eel, lionfish, Triggerfish,copperband butterfly, longnose hawkfish, singapore angelfish, koran angelfish. Also open to suggestions. will any of these go together i really like the koran angelfish and the snowflake eel.

Thanks Mitch
alright all good info so far so if i wanted to go with the more aggressive fish i could do the maroon clown and the dwarf lionfish is there any other fish that are compatible with these two and would 2 be about all i could have with that size tank. if i wanted to go with the peaceful fish how many could i put and i really like the flame angel and the hawkfish what else could go with these and what kind of clowns wouldnt bully these guys
sorry i didnt see the two clowns you listed for the peaceful fish. im not a fan of the goby or the grammas what else is there that could go with the hawk fish and the flame angel. also if i get the snowflake eel is that all that could go in the tank?

1. Elena has bought 320 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 7 times as many triggerfish as parrotfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy? Write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of parrotfish Elena bought, and y represents the number of triggerfish she bought.
x + 7y = 320
y = 7x

x + y = 7
y = 320x

x + y = 320
y = 7x

x y = 320
y = 7x

2. Elena has bought 320 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 7 times as many triggerfish as parrotfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy?
280 parrotfish, 40 triggerfish

180 parrotfish, 140 triggerfish

40 parrotfish, 280 triggerfish

3. Anita and Joelle bowl together, and their combined total scores for one game was 425 points. Anita’s score was 40 less than twice Joelle’s. What were their scores? Write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Joelle’s score, and y represents Anita’s score.
x + y = 425
y = 2x 40

x + y = 425
y = 2x + 40

x y = 425
y = 2x 40

x + y = 40
y = 2x 425

4. Anita and Joelle bowl together, and their combined total scores for one game was 425 points. Anita’s score was 40 less than twice Joelle’s. What were their scores?
Joelle: 270, Anita: 155

Joelle: 180, Anita: 245

Joelle: 140, Anita: 285

Joelle: 155, Anita: 270

Gareth Richards asked:


How long can a

Very Small Picasso Triggerfish,
Small Dog Faced Pufferfish,
Small Maroon Clownfish,
Small Longnose Hawkfish

Last in a 34 gallon before I have to upgrade?
I will not be able to upgrade for 10 months due to money issues BUT after that period I WILL be able to buy a much larger aquarium.

My Water parameters are great!

the Nitrites are 0,
the Nitrates are 0,
the Ammonia is 0,
the pH is 8.3,

I have an over sized external filter, a good protein skimmer, and lots of live rock.
I do a 10-25% water change every week and sift the sand every day and clean the glass every other day, I clean the filter once a month, and feed a very varied diet.

Is this OK?

Please, no nasty comments or they will be reported, Please leave helpful comments.
Thanks very much!

(My tank is saltwater)

Will triggers enjoy feeder goldfish?

Jenny asked:


In addition to my 20 gallon nano reef, I have another 100gallon FOWLR tank that has been cycling for around 2 months – I have 70KG of live rock as well as a mixture of live sand and coral sand.

Parameters are sound, I currently have a 10 inch cat shark in this tank as well as a snowflake eel and they enjoy a meal of live feeder goldfish and some ghost shrimp.

I am going to get a Clown trigger fish and a Niger triggerfish next and I will be feeding them the same.

So will feeder goldfish work as well for the triggers? I have a tank with live goldfish and my cat shark loves to chase them around when I put them into the marine tank, I will also be feeding live ghost shrimp, so any suggestions about feeding the fish, as the cat shark tends to get greedy, I have heard that triggers will go for goldfish, but will have shrimp as a back up.

The feeder goldfish I have are fed quite a lot and are pumped up with nutrients and vitamins for the fish, so they should be grand.
Fish triggers eat in the wild is everything and anything, why I have no shrimp in the tank, they love shrimp, so the ghost shrimp will more than suffice, plus goldfish are really cheap and very plentiful!
These feeders are pumped with nurtients and such, like I have already mentioned, they have been modified to sustain a marine fish
Unfortunatly trigger fish do not like cheetos! They prefer less cheesy snacks! :D
Well they will be fed with ghost shrimp, what I am trying to do is get them to eat, I’ve kept triggers before and they refused to eat any flake foods, frozen foods, etc. I will be keeping my feeders at home in a tank, and will be treated accordingly, and illnesses etc they will be removed.
The niger trigger is bigger than the clown, the clown is only around 4 inches at the moment, the niger is 7 inches.

I did have a picasso kept with a pinktail and a clown, the clown did end up killing the pinktail, I’m hoping for more sucess with keeping the niger with the clown!
This tank will not be a reef, I have the nano reef already, and for the price of corals, I do not want the triggers to even know of their existance! It will be a FOWLR tank only, with no inverts either.

Kelsi asked:

K… so i had a quiz i took where i missed two questions…and i can’t for the life of me figure out why i missed them. Can anyone help me?
I need you to show me exactly how to work the problem… cos i need to understand why you got that answer.

The first question is: Elena has bought 320 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 7 times as many triggerfish as parrotfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy? Write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of parrotfish Elena bought, and y represents the number of triggerfish she bought.

I said the answer was: x + 7y = 320 y = 7x

but the real answer is: x + y = 320
y = 7x

Why?

The second question is: Anita and Joelle bowl together, and their combined total scores for one game was 425 points. Anita’s score was 40 less than twice Joelle’s. What were their scores?

i said the answer was:
Joelle: 270, Anita: 155

but the real answer was: Joelle: 155, Anita: 270

why? PLEASE HELP! [:

Why do you think they use a different coloration pattern than the first group? (you’ll need to read some of the descriptions for a clue)

They are primary predators and often found in open water
They are usually found along the bottom hiding or resting.
They are usually found in schools swimming in large numbers
