Description

The Golden Heart Triggerfish, scientifically known as Balistes punctatus, is a stunning marine species recognized for its vibrant yellow body, highlighted by intricate blue patterns and a distinctive heart-shaped mark. Native to the warm tropical waters of the Pacific, these fish thrive in coral reef environments, often nestling among rocks and crevices.

Golden Heart Triggerfish are carnivorous, primarily feeding on crustaceans and small invertebrates in the wild. In an aquarium setting, they require a protein-rich diet, which can include high-quality pellets, frozen foods like shrimp and squid, and live food options.

These fish are known for their bold and aggressive nature, making them unsuitable for reef tanks with smaller or more timid fish. It’s essential to house them with tank mates of similar size and temperament to avoid conflict. They benefit from ample swimming space and plenty of hiding spots to help reduce stress.

Approximate Purchase Size: 3″ to 5″. ​
