Clown Triggerfish

Clown Triggerfish are striking saltwater fish known for their bold black, white, and yellow patterns and distinctive spotted markings. They require a large marine aquarium of at least 300 gallons as adults, with stable water conditions, a temperature of 76–82°F, a pH of 8.1–8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.020–1.026. Provide strong filtration, plenty of swimming space, and sturdy rockwork with hiding places. Clown Triggerfish are carnivores and should be fed a varied diet of Gamma shrimp, squid, krill, clams, and other meaty marine foods to support healthy growth and help wear down their continuously growing teeth. They become increasingly territorial and aggressive as they mature, so they are generally unsuitable for peaceful community tanks or reef aquariums, where they may eat smaller fish, shrimp, crabs, and other invertebrates. Due to their large adult size and aggressive temperament, they are best suited for experienced saltwater aquarists with appropriately sized aquariums.
