    My Favorite fish are Triggers for sure!;D
    Over the past 8 years I have had plenty of them, but I have lost plenty of them as well. They are not the hardy fish every book makes them out to be for sure. They have very small gills so any disease or parasite outbreak these guys are most likely the first to parish.

    Triggers personlities and there love for there owners is like no other fish, except a puffer. I have been able to teach them tricks for a food reward.
    There colors are awesome as well, they have many different color combos that are unique to triggers.

    If you share this love with triggers please tell me about your stories and of course you must share pics.
    Here is some pics of a new one I just got. The Blue Line Trigger, the most beautiful fish in the sea IMO.

    One day I will build a predator tank as I think triggers are awesome as well but not many people here seem to like them because most of them aren't reef friendly. I think the 2 coolest triggers are the clown and the humu. The clown and the emperor angel are the coolest fish in the trade IMO.

    I always liked queens until one took a chunk out of my arm.

    I like triggers except my picasso trigger stabbed me in the back. I'm planning on getting a blue jaw and see how that works out.

    I really love the triggers also, although I have not had the privelage of having one yet so I have no pics to share. Hopefully some day.

    I have a blue jaw, and he is definitely one of my favorite fish! No need just for predator tanks too, as there are reef-safe triggers! Here's a few pics of mine:

    Pack, that's a really beautiful trigger! Hoping to upgrade to a 200+ gal tank next year at some point so I think I'll be getting one, too!

    Yeah, triggers are really nice fish. I haven't had any first hand experience with them, but I'd definitely like to in the future. Always admire their body shape, very interesting!

    Very Sweet BlueJaw trigger!
    I had a pair in my 120 reef and my female starved the male to death by not allowing him to eat.
    Then she ate my flame wrasse. She later died one day.

    Very nice Sargassum!
    I have had a few but none of them seem to make it very long.
    I looked at a place that had 4 last week but the all looked to be in poor health so I passed on them.
