The Blueline Triggerfish also known as Rippled Triggerfish is a brilliant blue colour. This fish is known for its aggressiveness and many divers choose to stay away from them, as they bite often. A beautifully colored fish as a juvenile, the Blueline Triggerfish adults tend to become belligerent in attitude and subdued in color. They tends to aquascape your tank for you in search of invertebrates and will often chase and nip fish that get too close. They also tends to be regarded as a menace and will inflict a serious bite if it gets a chance.

This is yet another gorgeous trigger that gets quite large. While juveniles may pick on newly introduced tankmates or smaller fishes, larger specimens should only be housed with other large fish capable of holding their own with bold tankmates. Don't keep Blueline Triggerfish or most other larger triggers with small thin fish, as they will be eaten.
