:I've had a 2-3" Picasso trigger for a little over 2 weeks. He was very active, eating a lot, even from my hand, & seemed fine. Then 2 days ago he started hiding, won't come out at all. I can see him in the rocks, but he won't eat at all & his color is fading slightly, although he has no other visible signs of disease or illness. The water is fine & none of the others is sick (cinnamon clown, lyretail hawk, blue damsel, yellow tang & blueheaded wrasse). Nobody was picking on him at all. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi, i need some info before i can determined what your problem might be, like aquarium size and you mention a bluehead wrasse, what size is he? for he can get picky when his of size and the trigger is so much smaller. For one thing you need to learn, if you don`t already know and that is, even that these marine animals are in a closed system, away from the oceans they came, they still have the same functions as if there in the wild, and that is, they know that for each predator around means less available foods. Happy Fishing ><{{{{">
