Undulated Triggerfish

Undulated Triggerfish (Balistapus undulatus) 

The Undulate Triggerfish, also known as the Orangelined Triggerfish or Orangetailed Triggerfish, boasts a striking emerald-green body adorned with vibrant yellow-orange vertical stripes.For optimal health, it thrives in a 180-gallon or larger aquarium filled with large rock formations to create caves. This species is known for rearranging its surroundings, and it vocalizes with a characteristic “grunting” sound. While it is a hardy fish, it can be aggressive toward tankmates. The Undulate Triggerfish requires a varied diet of meaty foods, including squid, krill, clams, small fish, and hard-shelled shrimp to help manage its ever-growing teeth.
