capsfan August 15, 2009 Share August 15, 2009 I saw this bluejaw trigger @ the lfs today and I really like this. I have heard that they are pretty much reef safe, but might nip at some shrimps. Has anybody had experience with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tischdog32 August 15, 2009 Share August 15, 2009 I dont have much experience ... but they are jumpers, so you should probably have a nice lid on the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonP August 15, 2009 Share August 15, 2009 I have one and have no issues with either inverts or corals, to include shrimp. It is a model citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkl911 August 16, 2009 Share August 16, 2009 I have one, he is about 6 inches long. Never gets aggressive towards anything until feeding time. But of course my predator tank gets pretty nuts when it is feeding time. I know they get up to about 9", so you will need a pretty big tank.

lhcorals August 16, 2009 Share August 16, 2009 I have one and i dont have any problems with him bothering anything. I have never heard of them being jumpers either. If you startle them they will move really quick and hide for a few seconds, but not jump. I have a Pink Tail Trigger also and have no problems with him. Like stated above a pretty good sized aquarium is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos August 16, 2009 Share August 16, 2009 I had a bluejaw that I lost to a jumping incident earlier this year. Eggcrate would be a fine lid, but it would affected the amount of light that would reach your corals. No incidents with invertebrates during my brief run. A great fish with lots of personality. Highly recommend. Best, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
