So mike (fishstick) and several of my close friends went fishing on sunday and to my suprise we caught a biggg blueline triggerfish!!! Didnt know they had those kind of fish out there just though id share

Blue line triggers only show up in the indo pacific. Was probably a different species.

 

[HongT713]

thats what i thought but this one looks like a blue line i could be wrong

i have a pic but its right when it was caught soo looks stress, ill post up in a sec. But, i put him in my saltwater pond and it colored up with blue lines and yellow body so thats why i figured its a blueline trigger

 

[HongT713]

pic right when it was caught

ill try to get a pic of it now when its settled color is blue lines and yellow once it has settled in my pond

 

[soymilk]

thats a grey triggerfish..

lucky the game warden didn't catch you lol. Its techincally a game fish. 16" is the minimum.

 

[HongT713]

[HongT713]

yup your right i researched it and thats exactly what it is.. thanks

Hey, can you start a new thread and give some info on your saltwater POND?!

 

[HongT713]

the pond is 10 Ft Long x 4 1/2 wide x 2 Ft tall sneak peak of it

 

[NarnyTheGreat]

How do you control run off and evaporation? I have looked into ponds briefly but I never really found answers to these problems.

 

[flipside]

That looks pretty sweet, Hong!

 

[darbex]

+1 interested in temp control and evap.

 

[gabe_j]

dude that is seriously freaking awesome! what do you use for flow?! that a beast of a hole in the ground

 

[NarnyTheGreat]

I had thought about turning my pool into a pond lol... but thats a cost I wouldnt want to explain to my husband .

Seriously dude... tell all about this pond. WE NEED TO KNOW!

 

[gabe_j]

$5 says he won't dish the info behind this one. lol

hey sabrina couldn't you turn it into a "saltwater pool" with fish.

 

[NarnyTheGreat]

LOL No that really doesnt work... the saltwater pool systems arent really meant to handle that... plus you figure, the pool was damaged in the hurricane and no one can use it... if we fix it to turn it into a pond, my husband would be PISSED lol.

Right now we are working on debt and savings... so much so that allowances have been cut to 50$ a check... if I want another octopus... and be able to feed it I will REALLY have to save for it now.

the way i had it setup is pretty simple but works. I am setting up a same setup in the shop on 45/gulf bank so u can see how its done when we open. As for as water evap my whole entire house is run on rodi water, i drew a line on the pool liner to let me know when to add water if it evap. Once water go below the line i run a hose to fill it bak to the line. As for as heat my house is 3 stories and the next house is 3 stories so it blocks out the sun and stays fairly cool in my garage. I run a 100 gal tank which sits higher then the pond using a pump to shoot water into the tank and the tank draining back down to the pond. I will try to get pics of the entire setup so u can see exactly how i set it up which is fairly easy and works just like a fresh water pond and water stays crystal clear
