Got this fish for my 50-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, though it does chase smaller fish. I’ve kept it with larger, robust species and it’s not causing major issues. Needs a lot of space and a strong tank setup.

The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. I’m cautious about its aggression, so I made sure to keep it in a tank with only larger fish. It’s not ideal for beginners, but it’s a striking addition to a well-planned setup.

This triggerfish is bold and eye-catching. After a few weeks, it’s established its territory and seems content. I’m glad I chose it for a tank with strong, non-susceptible species.
