Pinktail Triggerfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Pinktail Triggerfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 180 gallons (680 liters)
• Compatibility: Best kept with other large, semi-aggressive to aggressive fish. Not suitable for reef tanks with delicate invertebrates or small, peaceful fish. Can be kept singly or in very large aquariums with other robust triggerfish if introduced simultaneously and with ample space.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing. Excellent filtration and strong water movement are essential. Provide a varied diet of meaty foods and vegetable matter. Can be prone to nipping at corals and sessile invertebrates, so caution is advised in mixed reef environments.
