[edit] Undulate triggerScientific Name Balistapus Undulatus Max. Size: 8" Tank Size: 70+ Aggression: Most aggresive triggerfish of all; keep out of aquariums that contain invertibrates and most fish. Using it's powerful jaws, the undulate trigger will pick up bits of crushed corals and distribute anywhere in your tank. Despite it's aggresive behaviour and potential size (more than 12 " in a large tank) it can be a rewarding fish to keep, becoming tame and enjoying lots of fuss nfrom the owner Hardiness: Very hardy, but requires a lot of food, and therefore create a lot of organic waste. Invest in good filtration with any triggerfish! Reef-Safe: NO! unless your invertibrates and coral are destined to be food Available as captive-bred: No |
