    Befriending my Trigger

    Yay, I just got my 3" rectangular triggerfish yesterday. He has been really timid of me up until just now. I was sitting in front of my tank, and then i actually got him to follow my hand on the glass. This was amazing considering that earlier today he was nowhere to be seen when someone only walked by. Because of his sudden change of heart, i deceded to give hand feeding a try, and to my great delight, he actually took a peice of diced shrimp from my hand!!! He did this 2 more times!!! But, he still showed fear of my hand; each time, he took a few tries to build up his courage enough before actually took it.

    +1. The rule is "pics or it didn't happen". Without pics, I am not sure you even have a trigger :p Pics of new additions immediately earn K+ ;D
