Minimum Tank Size: The Queen Trigger prefers a tank of at least 140 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim. Diet: The Balistes vetula is a carnivore and likes to eat variety of meats (fish, scallop, shrimp, squid, clam) & veggies. Level of Care: The Queen Trigger is a low maintenance fish.

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.
