Blue Throat Triggerfish
Snapshot: Rocking a cool grayish-brown base, this Triggerfish is decked out in light-blue spots, like a starry night sky underwater. Its fins are edged in bold yellow, giving it that extra pop of style!
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 30cm or so. Distributed throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region. If you hear some grunting, don’t worry; it’s just this fish’s way of “talking” to you!
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system or reef aquarium with care.
Aquarium set-up: Set up a spacious tank packed with rocks and caves — perfect for this Blue Throat’s next landscaping project. Watch it get creative with rearranging the décor! It's also a relatively shy fish, esepcially when first introduced into an aquarium. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Triggerfish are foodies with a taste for variety! Feed it a mix of meaty delights —squid, krill, clams, small fish, and crunchy shrimp — to keep those ever-growing teeth in check. It’s a dining experience as wild as its personality!
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
