The magnificent Clown Trigger has quickly become a favorite among hobbyists due to their bold coloration, extreme durability and outgoing personality. Like all triggers, the Clown Trigger is aggressive. Do not keep them with smaller fish or invertebrates and try to house them with fish that are their equal in size and aggression. To make the trigger feel at home make sure the rockwork includes many places for the fish to hide. Feed your Clown triggerfish a varied diet of marine meaty foods, more than once per day. It's also a good idea to make sure some of the food has shells so the trigger can work on removing the food from it and wear down their teeth in the process. They will grow to be a pretty large size of a foot and will need ample swimming space. Full grown adults of this trigger will need around 300 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. Their body is covered with white spots and dramatic markings that make them really stand out.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
