The Spotted Triggerfish is a large species that is seldom found in home aquariums. These fish are predominantly black, adorned with numerous silver and light blue spots.

The Spotted Triggerfish can grow up to 20 inches and requires a minimum tank size of 300 gallons. Known for their aggressive nature, they should not be housed with smaller, less aggressive species. Their habit of rearranging rocks makes them unsuitable for reef tanks.

In larger, fish-only aquariums, the Spotted Triggerfish can be a stunning addition. They may produce grunting sounds and thrive with ample open swimming space. Providing plenty of live rock is beneficial, offering hiding spots when they feel threatened.

As carnivores, the Spotted Triggerfish needs a diet rich in meaty foods. Fresh seafood like scallops, shrimp, clams, and fish are ideal. Hard-shelled foods help maintain their large teeth.
