    Hi, I just got a 3" rectangular triggerfish (see avatar 4 pic). I was just wondering what you guys would recomend i use as my daily staple diet for him. I have some frozen shrimp that can suit him untill i get a more nutritionally balanced diet for him.

    Crustaceans(shrimp, snails, crab) are great trigger diets. Urchins also. Unfortunately your emerald crab isn't long for the world.

    if there for marine fish nutrition you can use them. yes you can use sushi nori, just make sure it dried nori. some of the other prepared nori fish wont eat(like smoked nori my fish wouldn't touch that).
