Queen Triggerfish

Balistes vetula
The most regal triggerfish of the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean. Unfortunately it gets larger and more aggressive than most aquarists can handle. Juveniles and adolescents can be kept with larger fish species, but they will begin to wreak havoc on their tankmates as they mature. An adult will have to be housed on its own, except in a very large aquariums and even then there is always a chance that it will attack its tankmates.

Feed a mixed diet of meaty foods, including chopped shrimp, squid, clams and fish. Also frozen rations with marine algae and vitamin-enriched foods.

Size: 23.6 inches
Area of Collection: Tropical Atlantic
