Description

Main Features Pinktail Trigger - Melichthys viduaAlso known as: Pink Tail, Hawaii Maximum Size: the Melichthys vidua grows up to 14 inches. General Size Specifications: The small size will come to you generally 1 to 2 inches; the medium generally 3 to 4 inches; the large generally 5 to 6 inches. Minimum Tank Size: The Pinktail Trigger prefers a tank of at least 100 gallons with plenty of places to hide & swim. Diet: The Melichthys vidua is a carnivore and likes to eat variety of meats (fish, scallop, shrimp, squid, clam) & veggies. Level of Care: The Pinktail Trigger is a low maintenance fish. Behavior: The Pinktail Trigger may act aggressively toward other fish. Hardiness: This is a hardy fish. Water Conditions: Keep water quality high (SG 1.020 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F). Range: Indo-Pacific. General Notes: Better behaved than the Niger Triggerfish, the Melichthys vidua or Pinktail Triggerfish is probably the most desireable for the reef aquarium. Is very shy at first but will become friendlier than many of the other triggers and not become aggressive with age but more tame. It is very hardy and can be kept with peaceful fishes of equal size or larger. It not as likely to re-aquascape your tank as the other triggerfish species often will. Will eat shrimps and other crusteaceans. 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. Customer Reviews Write a review 8 of 12 people found the following review helpful: Excellent! Pinktail Trigger
