Blue throat Trigger

ZBT3091 · 04-01-2007, 08:10 PM

Yesterday, i picked up a 4-5" Blue Throat Trigger, along with one 2" Klein Bfly and one 2" Auriga, and put it in my 75 with an already inhabited foxface. Today i tried feeding and pretty much everyone ate except for the Bluethroat, who would eat (squid, mysis, clam) and then spit it out. Any ideas on getting him to eat? Also the auriga doesnt seem to be eating too much besides picking live rock. any ideas for him too?

Check out what fishbase has to say about the natural diets of those two species:

Xanthichthys auromarginatus and Chaetodon auriga.

Both fish will eat freeze dried plankton. Presoak it first to get it to sink.

HTH,
