mini reef tank with large clown trigger fish, Nikon D90 movie video 2

[@javahart007]

System is a bit small IMO - I wouldn't keep two regals let alone all the fish you have. To be fair it looks peaceful though!

[@ericbedwell]

Very pretty and VERY overstocked.

[@dnadandna]

its only overstock with that huge clown trigger in it. otherwise its an amazing tank and very well maintained. perfect condition

[@colbysmith26]

Everyone on here is a fish expert what works for some may not work for all. I'm a reef junky and love this video. The population in this take would be high depending on how long the biological has been up. If he is getting away with those fish all living together and there all fead properly with the right expertise this can work and is an amazing setup. As long as your not killing animals then do what you want. The tank is obviously small enough where he could get a fish out if it were bullied

[@kjun13]

Spectacular setup! Very well done aquarium, few people know how to really pull something like this off and keep it looking like that for more than a few days. 10/10 :D

[@TKP316]

When you raise a clown trigger from a juvenile and don't feed it any live food, that'll SOMETIMES make it tammer. Awesome tank!

[@leonscorpio19]

I used to catch all these fish when I lived on the Kingdom of Tonga. Awesome job and I loved watching the fish in their natural habitat..

[@creelgoe]

I am 100% sure you know more about fish keeping than I do. I'm not going to say anything bad about this tank. It looks great, the fish look happy, the coral looks natural and like it was a part of that rock originally. Just one TIIIIINNNYY recommendation though. That massive clown trigger of yours doesn't look like he has enough room. He just kind of chills in the center of the column. He's probably happy enough as he is, but a bigger tank would be ideal for one as big as he is. Overall: A

[@adesotopu]

dang...that is a beautiful tank...and that clown trigger is GIANT.

[@tashdog1]

the best clown triggerfish i have ever seen out of ones else were better than a one in a sea life centre i go to

[@TheGoodstuff69]

cool tank. How many gallons is it. It looks like a cube almost and that would mean its over 400 gallons. but i highly doubt you have a 400 gallon cube tank. Its probably a 55 or 75. I was thinking about doing a imperator and niger in my 75 fowlr with a lion, snowflake, wrasse, and a blue dot toby. If you could give me any tips that would be awesome because from what ive read imperators need over 200 gallons. but yours looks healthy in ur smaller tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@espaguesa7658]

that trigga bout to regulate.

[@wyattroa]

Gonna suck when that clown trigger snaps one day and goes after every fish in that tank..lol

[@joe0813]

how do you have that trigger fish in with peaceful fish??? im new at saltwater tanks so ive been reading alot and ive read that trigger fish will eat or kill the peaceful fish

[@harshrealities6213]

That clown triggerfish and emperor angle are way to big for that tiny tank. They both need to come live in my 300 gallon fowler tank.

[@balamohan]

How aren't the fishes fighting. Everyone seems to be very calm

[@Moonfruit777]

why didn´t the triggers eat the corals????

[@tashdog1]

@1herrerasaurus i dont think his clown trigger is 13,inch i think its 8inch like and his angelfish 6inch long. plus he might just be saying that

[@sledge760]

I think a Blue Whale would be a good add. Squeeze a Great White shark in their too. Do you see how big the Clown Trigger in your "Specially Designed" tank???

[@tashdog1]

@haloreach6781 its known as the blue trigger or red jaws or greany yellow face trigger

[@tashdog1]

plus musicsogo told me back in 2008 december he was getting a bigger tank tank so he can still keep it and not rehome it

[@JJM2222]

i would say that they could fit in their. make sure you buy them small and at the same time. then you'll have a pair.

[@tashdog1]

people down here in uk most people dont shops down here always get customers wanting to get bigger tanks when their clown triggers get to 13inch or some one wants to rehome them, shops down here want prouth of large tanks

[@w2dsergio]

very nice tank i just buy 3 trigger is true that they eat corals because i wasthinking buying corals

[@tashdog1]

you need to put liverock in the tank its vital you do so and the tangs and angelfish need too eat natural algae and improves water i have seen poeple not using liverock

[@tashdog1]

@TheLabguy6 amonia has got two m in it ammonia if he had probblems with ammonia his fish would of been dead ages ago plus plus just because people have so many big fish that dont mean to say they will have probblems with fish. if hes having no probblems then this is more than likely why, 1st hes got low nitrates so then meaning there low enough for ammonia and nitrites to trancser over to nitrates, 2nd his filteration is very powerful using very big ones 3rd he does not over,feed them

[@KevinMcManamonMPLS]

DUDE THAT IS TORTURE TO THOSE FISH!

[@Menibor1]

Nice job putting a clown trigger and a emperor in that nano tank...... I’m sure by now all those fish are dead

[@spliffstar111]

Im sorry, but that trigger doesnt belong in that tank.. he is only not being aggressive toward the smaller fish because he cant freaking move.. great setup though.. rock work and coral look fantastic.

[@The_last_emperor_1]

how do u keep ur clown trigger so calm. i really want to get one but i'm afraid he'll bully all the other fish. my local pet store was selling a little 2inch clown trigger and i'm thinking maybe i can train him to not be so aggressive. well what's ur secret to keeping ur clow so calm?

[@Gambit58]

You can seed your own liverock.. often better cause you know exactly what you get in the tank.. also much more economic

[@TheLabguy6]

how many gallons. do you have amonia probs with that many fish

[@jillianmarquett]

Fantastic tank- it's ridiculously overstocked though.

[@Benno828282]

I can't believe how many thumb downs the accurate, intelligent comments have here! If you want the truth about keeping fish and you have half a brain read the negative comments only.

[@TheLabguy6]

do you have amonia probs with that many fish. does clown trigger eat your corals?

[@shuwukong]

This is my principle when i keep saltwater aquariums I have taken my fish away from their mate, their family, their home, they have lost their freedom, In turn, I should provide them with a new home with comfortable space, with the best water quality, enough and appropriate food and nice tank mates that wont occasionally slash/bite their skin off

[@tashdog1]

@warrenoo7 your all wrong mate, the clown trigger wont eat them, if he does then they would of gone by now thick, plus some triggers remain friendly all their life some dont. plus the clown trigger is the well known trigger for being friendly. i had 8inch one after 2 years mandarin fish was in tank never touched it nor any fish that went into the tank. so clown triggers are normally very friendly triggers, but not if there are more than one clown triggerfish kept in same tank.

[@chillilover1]

Doesn't your trigger bother the chromis or shrimp. I seen one eat 5 gold fish in less than a second at a pet store.

[@djyoung7164]

Hello Any aquarium update? Thank you

[@TheAtheistAussie]

Way overstocked! That trigger should be in at least an 8ft tank.

[@oscarthewhale]

@oscarthewhale The cromis and yellowtail damsel look cramped I mean*

[@Mal7843]

Nice to see you dont care about the animals at all.

[@CedrykUnited]

8 years ago later do you have little video?

[@eggtube]

wtf watch out that clown trigger with small fish, thats going to end in tears

[@tashdog1]

@BlueReefLobster to me i dont think that clown trigger fish is 13inch it looks more like 8inch to me

[@jdotjoker]

Yh over stocked but it seems calm and gd filtration I'd say take out clown trigger and one tang and even that would be a whole lot better

[@nwyk153]

It look like ur clown trigger got no where else to go or hide....how long did u have him/her?

[@skrillsnet]

Wow...... might think about upgrading the tank. Those fish are bound to have some issues in that small of a tank. Not just because there are too many, you can over compensate with exceptional filtration, but because of the type of fish. Tangs and triggers like to swim, so they should have room to do so. Just my 2 cents, noticed the video is a little old, how are the fish doing now?

[@TropheusJon]

No offense but your tank looks like a store tank selling corals and temporary housing large fish...

[@Stevezeses]

how much did that all cost aproxximately and how much care on a daily basis do they need?

[@nakmin123]

Can't believe this vodeo is still on here.

[@shechshire]

that emperor angel fish is beautiful.

[@sasukeushiha2415]

Crazy tank ever big angelfish with corals 😅 lucky

[@2019freddie]

sorry but that clown trigger will eventually kill everything in the tank. It's ok to say it looks nice, it may, for now, but read up on clown triggers, they can suddenly go beserk and do a whole load of damage.

[@AhmedMustafax]

does the trigger not nip at the coral?

[@BlueReefLobster]

This is amazing how u were able to do this!!!!!

[@nicolasnewsome8658]

That is the saddest clown trigger alive. Research first people. No disrespect to the poster, I'm sure you didn't mean to do this on purpose but damn! Otherwise very pretty tank.

[@joe0813]

@Helixclothing and not to mention the tank is waaaay to small for that trigger fish.... i mean im not a expert just going by all the forums and other videos ive seen

[@ZenfishATX]

Those poor fish. Inappropriate to the fullest extent. Says a lot that the poster called the clownfish "nemos". Go live in your bathroom for a week with three other people so you understand.

[@chronix0111]

man i hope my tank looks like this one day this is amazing!

[@ryZmoX]

Nice one but extremely overpopulated in my opinion, isn't it?

[@wrestlingjunkeezpod]

clown trigger in a reef tank? im willing to bet this tank and its inhabitants are completely different today. Hope the poster learned a lesson.

[@tashdog1]

i know liverock is put in there for reason as i have it in my tanks had it for years, all the other shops i go to use it and tell customers not to use freshwater rocks. plus i dont use tuffa rock due to the reasons why

[@anemone171]

stunning clown trigger how long you had him

[@brianputorti5576]

triggers need a larger tank !!! your mean! get a larger tank or trade them back to the store for some damsels!!!

[@mistere0079]

+Brian Putout Damsels are ugly and very Territorial, The Trigger was probably small when he bought it and it grew into that massive beast.

[@dolphin8441]

i heard clown trigger could eat other small fishs. is it true? how about clown fish?

[@Skuhlig]

Damn this is a depressing tank..

[@jillianmarquett]

I guess the point here is to add as many fish as biologically possible without any regards to the quality of the fishes' lives.

[@danielpaolini6349]

I'm not saying this is a good tank size for all these fish but generally most triggers can be kept with corals but the reason they are not reef friendly is because they will eat small inverts like shrimps and snails.

[@justintryba]

It's a little overcrowded but nice fish

[@gustavitoreef]

the tigger fish is a safe reef fish???

[@filmlvr25]

my dad bought a clown trigger 35 years ago, it was in a 150 gallon with many fish. one day the all vanished, except for the trigger hmmmm

[@Deathstar11978]

i beg to differ with being over stocked, if he has adequate filtration, which i presume he has or his coral and fish would die there is no problem with keeping this many fish in that size tank

[@Moviebuff358]

how many gallons?

[@jakeryder101]

well to small especially for tangs and trigger fish.

[@jentews]

wow how do you keep a trigger in a reef tank

[@dolphinspeacefulreef1286]

Nice tank butt the clown trigger needs a much more bigger home

[@oscarthewhale]

Let me put this in terms that this tank is HORRIBLE. 1. Like everyone say, the tank is WAY too small for the clown and black trigger, and the Emperor Angel. Those Chromis and is did the Yellowtail Damsel I spotted 2. 2 Regal tangs in a small tank? Well Im suprised They haven't shown agression to each other yet 3. Those Dwarf angels needs a cave of their own, which is obviously belonging to the soldierfish. Bottom line: Get rid of the soldierfish, tangs, triggers and the emperor. Im so harsh

[@nakmin123]

Still have the fish?

[@TLExotics]

can you tell me how to tame a triggerfish. and the trigger im getting is a blue line trigger. post on my video saltwaterfish tank by tdawg32197

[@TheAtheistAussie]

No way man, as opposed to the ocean they came from haha? An overstocked tank isn't just about stress on fish, it also requires more maintenance and bigger/more frequent water changes. For all you know this guy filmed this tank 2 weeks after installation. 4 months down the track it will fall to shit. Trust me i do aquarium maintenance for a living, it's overstocked.

[@diztorcion666]

i feel sorry for the trigger they usually move fast and eat smaller fish but i don't think he has space for that

[@oshivy]

my clown trigger tries to eat my hand

[@CantCmytoez]

What the hell how would u like to be traped in tht small tank look it up dushe bag it says 100 + gallons needed for the clown trigger

[@jms9618]

that thing is huge

[@kristoffers2010]

how very sad to see humans dont respect the space the fish needs and only think about colors

[@2019freddie]

there are many fish crimes on KZbin! people who know nothing about these fish say ooh what a lovely tank, the result is fish suffer. sickening.

[@Joe_Ingles]

That Trigger is beggin the Clown to please end him. Did you move those fish?

[@chudleigh]

8ft sounds slightly excessive for one fish?

[@Benno828282]

No they are not, why would we be jealous? Anyone can buy these fish from a lfs and just dump them in any size tank without regard to their needs and requirements.

[@NickTV1232]

i hope u got a lid on that tank. triggerfish jump

[@tashdog1]

@kilerr182 well today i went to an aquatic store to see if they have any aquamedic bio filters in blue reef 2000 they had a 10inch clown triggerfish for sale, today a lady said a fich bird got out a cage join the night and when they opened up shop they found feathers floating on top of tank so meaning clown triggerfish ate that finch bird

[@tashdog1]

@markandamira no its not, no its not, no its not

[@tashdog1]

your giant monter pacu ktmracer4687 is in a too small tank to more smaller than this trigger

[@dolphinspeacefulreef1286]

Please read more about the fish before you get them 👏🏼

[@tashdog1]

he does not look like hes realy 13inch to me he looks more like 9inch and regal tang 2inch emperor 5inch as you can buy them at adult colouration at that size

[@OcedarMopzar]

I don't think triggers nip at soft coral, just hard coral, although I might be wrong.

[@nyn199a]

how much did u invest in your tank cause I was thinking about starting mine up again

[@Gostraughan]

Truly disgusting..... How can someone treat animals like that? No wonder people get so much abuse these days for keeping fish.. It's morons like this that give the hobby a bad name :(

[@stevelane1956]

Your triggers don`t eat the shrimps????
