Very Large Male Blue Throat Trigger

Zoa Fan · #1 (**permalink**) 11-20-2009, 07:52 PM

I'm afraid I have to sell my 7-8" beautiful male
Blue Throat trigger. My moorish idol seems to
have a problem with him especially during feeding.
This fish is huge, healthy & thick. It's the largest
blue throat I've ever seen. He eats anything
& everything I feed the tank. Not a shy fish at all
it's always out swimming. It would need to go to a
large tank only. I have it with many small fish & it
never bothers a thing including my inverts & clean up crew.
Come check him out in person you won't be disappoinited.

asking $80.00

220 FOWLR. I really hate to see him go. He's definetly the show fish in my tank but I can't get rid of a fat & healthy Moorish Idol.

I would... but the Blue Throat is my favorite fish

Sure wish I had the tank for him I would have grabbed him even sooner, great deal too IMO.

I know he is pending/ sold already but if you don't mind what is the origin of this fish (if you know), indo or hawaiian?? J/W because I've heard the hawaiians have the better coloration and are healthier due to the better collection methods

It's a Hawaiian speciman. The only reason my wife let me upgraded to
a 220 was for a Moorish Idol. With their poor survival record the healthy one I've had for a while has to stay.

I kinda thought he was hawaiian just because of the coloration and everything, but wanted to check. Thank you

Yeah I was just messing with ya about ditchin the Idol, a healthy one is a rare show piece in itself... to bad they couldn't get along
