Goldenback Triggers can grow up to 14 inches and require a minimum tank size of 300 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature compared to other triggerfish, they generally coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, caution is advised as they may target smaller fish and some invertebrates in a reef tank.

These fish thrive in aquariums with ample open space for swimming, as they are strong swimmers. They also appreciate tanks with plenty of live rock, which they may claim as territory or use for hiding when threatened. Goldenback Triggers are known to rearrange rock structures for entertainment and can produce audible grunting sounds, adding personality to your tank.

As carnivores, Goldenback Triggerfish need a diet rich in meaty foods. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, pellets, flakes, and fresh seafood chunks will ensure their health and happiness. Including foods with hard shells is beneficial for maintaining their teeth.
