View Marine Fish Compatibility Chart Xanthichthys auromarginatus The Bluejaw Triggerfish can also be known as the Gilded Triggerfish or the Blue Throat Triggerfish. Bluejaw Triggerfish require a 120 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of rocks and caves in their environment. Males have more yellow on the fins and the signature blue throat/jaw while Females are lighter in coloration with less yellow on the fins and without the signature blue jaw. They are known to rearrange the landscape in their aquarium and to "grunt" which can be mistaken for talking. The diet of the Bluejaw Trigger should be a varied diet of High Quality Krill, Mysis, Brine, other vitamin enriched/meaty foods, and hard shelled shrimp or other invertebrates to help wear down their teeth which are ever growing. Triggerfish, along with other fish, corals and invertebrates will also benefit greatly from Live Phytoplankton which is readily available to them in the wild. |
