I'd love to have triggers. They'd really have something to hate me for though, putting them in a 40. and the 75 is fw, so they'd only hate me for a short time, then stop having opinions.
My tomatos in the 180 are evil as well. The funny thing is, my half black mimic tang will put itself in between them and my hand and fend them off for me. One of the funniest things I have ever seen. Hand in tank, clowns come out of LTAs, tang moves between my hand and then, flashed its scalpels and keeps them away. It will folow my hand around the entire tank and do this lol.

That would be great to see!
I think the neighbor kids have one of these. We find darts in the yard occasionally.
Well, if you think about it, I hand feed my tangs. They not only get nori, they get banana and strawberries occasionally. I think this has something to do with it.
And just for giggles. Des tang eating a strawberry.

Tangs are smarter than clowns. Protect food source. Don't hurt it.Well, if you think about it, I hand feed my tangs. They not only get nori, they get banana and strawberries occasionally. I think this has something to do with it.

Yup. That Des is like a puppy. I walk up to the tank, it comes up and goes near the surface, looks to see if I am feeding it and then "dances" a little if I just stand there. I may need to put it on a diet though, as it is starting to get some jelly rolls lol. But at almost 14 years old, I do not think a little fat around the mid section says much lol.

I teeter back and forth on triggers, they are some of my favorites to watch.

Kren is a few houses away. I think it need to be bees. Could be faulty wiring too, the houses are cheaply built from the 40s. Not looking for loss of life, just property with that one.

My house is 120 years old and still standing strong. Walls outside need some repair. I see a lot of new houses fall apart these days.
Also, I have seen bee's destroy houses. Scary stuff.

He's not fat, just big boned! Seriously a gorgeous fish
You got triggers that just don't do friendly. You have some more capable of being passive. And one that is almost all around perfect is around 3-5k
Runner up is the bluethroat trigger.
My house is the same way, sort of.
First part was built in 1824, second part in 1899, third part in 1926,, small addition in 1952, remodels here and there (luckily not jacked up), full remodel in 2018-2020. I oversaw the remodel, as I did not want the contractor to mess anything up. Luckily, I ended up with a contractor who is very experienced with plantation houses and actually restores them.
When it came to getting all of the floors back level, he even agreed with me that we just level and do not replace the limestone bases and 3' red oak trees split in half that was used for the base of the house. His exact words "why the h*** would I take something out that will outlast most of the human race? We will just level it up using limestone pavers and hardwood shims, so that it is true to what it was built to be."
I could not have been happier and I know my house is a 100 times better than the new ones going up. Those things scare me.
As for bees, I have a small old tobacco shed that has a massive bee colony in it. They are on the back side of my land, so they get to stay and the shed is not used. This means they have full reign and my graden always does well, since it is always full of bees lol. I would love to harvest the honey at some point, just cause, but am allergic to bees and not going to try that lol.

There was one that was the upper end of the budget when we were shopping. We'll over 100 years old, craftsman style. But the neighborhood was going down. And in Baltimore that means my future kids may be dodging stray bullets and we weren't down for that chance.

Best thing I ever heard from a constructor.
I don't like the materials used on new houses. I don't like it for fish stands, what the heck would I have to live in a house made of it?
We have old timers here who work on these old beasts, they have passed that on to their sons that care. Some of the floors need to be redone. I would like to fix the basement. Basement ceiling is too short for my own comfort.
I got no words of comfort. I watched Spokane, WA fall into the gutter. All we could do was let it happen.
