    Just got a Beautiful Blue Line Trigger. I did do my research but just wondered if anywone out there has one and has anything to say.

    Dont mind all the sand floating around. He was making him self at home and digging out his cave

    I built my FOWLR tank around the Blueline. It's the only fish that I've had that needed a Time Out Tank, and he had to go in it a lot. He behaves now, but it took a long time.

    He looks a lot like mine. How big is he compared to the others?

    You're right! Of what?

    *I should mention that mine jumped out of the tank.

    Sorry, I edited my post before yours.

    A handful of mean, beautiful and belligerant triggerfish.

    Time out tank all setup for him already ;). He is a bit bigger than his tank mates but they have lots! of hiding places. I'm adding more livestock in a week (bad I know he should go in last) so he will probably spend a few days in his own private tank while the new guy adjust. I have a friend that will take him if he is to much trouble but I'm hoping he will be good.

    What does everyone use to catch triggers? I hate using a net , like my lfs that I could have slapped when they took him out his bottom trigger got caught and I had to release him. I know if you use a net this happens often and is unacceptable. What does everyone else use?
