Blue Jaw Trigger Male Lg

Quick Stats

Description

The Blue Jaw Trigger (Male) stands out in marine aquariums due to its striking blue facial markings and vibrant yellow-edged fins, which contrast beautifully with its gray body adorned with light blue spots. Males are easily distinguishable from females by their more intense coloration, making them a popular choice among aquarists looking for a unique centerpiece fish.

Known for its relatively calm demeanor compared to other triggerfish, the Blue Jaw Trigger can coexist with other semi-aggressive tank mates in a large setup. However, caution should be taken in reef tanks, as it may occasionally nip at invertebrates. Its semi-aggressive nature is typically only a concern with smaller fish or similar species, particularly in a confined space.

In the wild, the Blue Jaw Trigger feeds on crustaceans and smaller fish. In captivity, it thrives on a diet of high-quality meaty foods, including shrimp, squid, and marine-based preparations. Ensuring a varied diet will enhance its vibrant colors and maintain its health. This active swimmer requires a spacious tank of at least 125 gallons, equipped with plenty of hiding spots and open areas to explore.
