Clown Triggerfish - Balistoides conspicillum

Clown Triggerfish are among the most visually striking and distinctively colored fish available for home aquariums. These fish feature a black body adorned with white polka dots and yellow spots, including a yellow mouth.

Clown Triggerfish can grow up to 20 inches and require an aquarium of at least 300 gallons. They are not reef-safe as they tend to attack smaller fish and consume invertebrates crucial for maintaining a healthy reef environment.

These fish should be kept with other large, semi-aggressive to aggressive species in a fish-only setup. As carnivores, Clown Triggerfish need a diet rich in meaty foods like krill, clams, shrimp, and squid. They also require hard-shelled foods to help wear down their large teeth.

Clown Triggerfish are known to rearrange aquascapes, so ensure your rock structures are stable. With the right tank size and compatible tank mates, the Clown Triggerfish can be a fantastic addition to your fish-only aquarium.
