Blue-lined Triggerfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Blue-lined Triggerfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 120 gallons
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other peaceful to semi-aggressive fish. Avoid housing with very aggressive species or those small enough to be considered prey. Best kept singly or in a very large tank with other Xanthichthys species if introduced simultaneously.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing. A deep sand bed is not strictly necessary as they do not typically burrow. Good water quality and strong filtration are essential. Provide a varied diet of meaty foods.
