I bought this triggerfish for my 150-gallon tank. It’s active and bold, which is exactly what I wanted. It’s not aggressive toward other fish, though it does defend its territory. Feeding is straightforward with a diet of crustaceans and algae. Needs a large tank, but it’s a great addition to a well-maintained setup.

The fish arrived healthy and quickly settled into the tank. It’s quite striking in color and has a strong presence. I’ve kept it with a few other species, and it doesn’t attack them directly. Just make sure the tank is large enough and has plenty of hiding spots.

It’s aggressive and not suitable for smaller tanks. I had to upgrade my tank size to 150 gallons. It does eat a lot and needs a varied diet. Works well in a spacious, stable environment.
