    I'm just curious but how prone are triggers usually to ich? I don't know enough about them and was curious if anyone had any experience with them. I know all fish can get ich but didn't know if they had a pretty good defense like some wrasse and dragonets

    IMO i dont think any fish can get ich like tangs!!! i have 4 triggs myself, had them for about a year now and they have never had ich, they are very hardy fish and have a strong immune system, given you give them a nice diet and water conditions.. Triggs are not really ones to catch it although, they CAN given certain conditions... the only trigg ive ever had a ich prob with is the Black Dungeon Trigger..They are more prone to it then the others....
