General Notes: One of the most aggressive and biggest triggers often sold in the industry, the Balistes vetula or Queen Triggerfish is the second most sought after trigger next to the Clown Trigger. This specimen gets larger than most aquarists can keep long term. As juveniles these triggers can be kept with larger fish species but will begine to gain aggressive tendencies as they mature. As an adult it will likely become a menace and need it`s own tank.

Note: Due to variations among each species, livestock may not look identical to the image provided. Expect diversity since each animal is unique in color, texture and shape.

Posted on 3/13/2008 from HOWELL, NJ UNITED STATES
Comments: This fish is very attractive but has a mean streak. Can only be housed with Undalated Trigger. Eats well and swims all over tank .Grows quite fast when feed well.a great fush if you only want one or two fish in an aggressive setup.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
