Pinktail Triggerfish : Large Melichthys vidua
An attractive species that does not fit the usual aggressive profile of the triggerfishes. Can be shy when initially introduced, but will become quite tame over time, and is even more sociable than the Niger Triggerfish. Because of its hardiness and more passive disposition, it is a great choice for the beginning aquarist. Can be kept with peaceful fishes of equal size or larger, or with more-aggressive fishes that are smaller. This fish is less likely to rearrange the aquarium decor or dig holes in the substrate, unlike some of its cousins. Larger specimens may eat ornamental shrimps.
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: 13.8 inches
