UGH - Which Fish Killed My Harlequin Tusk

[0MNSH1ZLLC]

Went to bed with a happy healthy Tusk that typically has held it's own in an aggressive tank.

I'll usually give away troublesome fish but I didn't see who was picking on this guy but I'm guessing it was a trigger...

No real marks other than the tailfin.

This is the stocklist on my 230, most of these fish would be considered Large beside the eels which I don't think were the culprate.

Sohal Tang * Emp Angel * Clown Trigger * Porc Puffer * Starry Puffer * Emp Snapper * Undulate Trigger * Squirrelfish * Goldentail Moray * Tessalata Moray * Golden Heart Trigger *

Pics attached...

Undulate trigger…. Been on my ‘ never again’ list, for over 40 years!

I agree. How large is it and how long has it been in there? My experience is they end up killing/beating up everything.

1+ year but it is the smallest fish in the tank. Honestly, I've never seen it go after another fish either...

Same here. Don't get drawn in by the cool colors, they are *****s. Mine used to eat gold fish like corn on the cob.

You have yourself a pretty aggressive tank. Id guess number of those fish could be a culprit.

Undulate and clown trigger’s would definitely be my prime suspects!

And they also like to rearrange everything in the tank!

No doubt the undulate, they have a serial killers mindset, they don’t kill due to aggression, they do it for fun…

Get rid of him while u can, he’ll take out the rest of your tank

LOL! I'll never give up on my triggers. I actually haven't had problems with any in this tank and I didn't see the Undulated do anything.


The Undulated is the smallest fish in the tank by far but if I see him acting out I might have to throw him into the Queen Trigger tank...jk.

I’m trying to remember which kind of trigger I had, years ago! He was the smallest in the tank lol

I just remembered, it was a Picasso trigger! Guess it made me not like any lol
