Description

The Bluelined Triggerfish, also known as the Blue-and-Gold Triggerfish, Blue Triggerfish, Rippled Triggerfish, or Yellowspotted Triggerfish, has a brilliant blue and yellow rippled effect over the entire body, accented by bright green eyes. A 300 gallon or larger aquarium with rocks and caves provides a good environment. The Bluelined Triggerfish will rearrange the landscaping and rocks. It can sometimes be heard making a grunting sound. The Bluelined Triggerfish needs a varied diet of meaty foods including; squid, krill, clams, small fish and hard shelled shrimp to help wear down their ever growing teeth.
