Anthony Martin –
The clown trigger is active and colorful. It fits well in a 150-gallon tank with proper water parameters. I feed it frozen shrimp twice a week and it stays healthy. It’s aggressive toward other fish, so I keep it alone. Very satisfied with the purchase.
Steven Marshall –
It’s a striking fish with vibrant colors. I noticed it’s quite active and needs a large tank. I’ve maintained stable water conditions and it’s thriving. Just be cautious with tank mates due to its aggressive nature.
Owen Russell –
The fish arrived healthy and matches the description. It’s not shy and does swim around a lot. I had to adjust the water pH slightly to match the recommended range. It’s not ideal for a community tank.
