The Red-Toothed Triggerfish (Odonus niger) is named after the prominently visible red teeth that it has as an adult. The scientific genus Odonus is of Greek origin and is also a reference to their teeth. Without close inspection the Red-Toothed Trigger might seem unassuming from a distance – but...
Hi everyone I have a quick question I have this trigger fish that someone gave me for free with the tank as well as some others fishes including a clownfish. I had my own tiny clwonfish that put in the new tank setup with the others fishes. The. Tank has been setup for about two months now no...
Hi all!
I have a juvenile (2 1/2 inch) Niger Trigger in my tank (40G) that I purchased 6/7 months ago. He has a favorite hiding spot in one of my rocks and in turn, he loves that corner of the tank. I rarely see him swimming around unless there is no movement in the room that the tank is in...
If you walk into any Local Fish Store worth its salt and ask “what triggerfish should I get” you might get a variety of answers, but the Striped Trigger will be on the list. If you ask “what triggerfish should I get for my reef tank?" The Striped Trigger will be on the top of that list. And this...
Hi! This is a n00b in my aquarium added two days ago. Is this for sure ich? I was hoping for confirmation so I know how to treat him. I'm also nervous that it has already spread to the rest of my tank.
The Hybrid Melichthys Triggerfish is a one of a kind and a first here at Quality Marine! We believe this Triggerfish will grow quite large and will need a substantial amount of swimming space as an adult. So, an aquarium size of at least 125 gallons is recommended. Create a setup with plenty of...
I'm considering buying this Undulated Triggerfish from LiveAquaria's Diver's Den. It's upper fin appears torn and there is a white line on it that runs horizontally. Is this a sign of parasite or disease? I called LiveAquaria, and they couldn't provide me with any information.

Meanest fish I’ve ever seen. Attacking my hand while acclimating. Attacks glass when I walk in the room and I had to pull the heater in it’s QT because it was biting the cord. Darn thing might as well be rabid.
Hi all, I have a male and female blue throat triggerfish and occasionally notice white marks on them. I've seen it before, and in the past, I've simply assumed they are scrapes because they heal in a matter of day(s), are only on the triggers, and they do not behave unusually--no scratching or...

Hi guys! We are getting a 92 gallon tank this weekend that we're buying from someone. It's an already established tank, but since we've had the worst luck with parasites we are going to clean it out and let it sit before adding water to it and starting over. That being said, I'm an avid planner...
Turned my lights on for the first time on my 150 gallon system (120 DT + 30 Sump). Got my Kessil AP9X hooked up and set.
As soon as lights turned on, my female bluethroat Trigger came out of hiding. She'd been squeezing herself between the return nozzle and the glass in the back of the tank...
My bursa trigger scratches his right side on the sand and rock often after eating. Video is attached. He is eating well and has no visible signs of ich or scratches on him. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance.
Hello, I have had this Gold Rim & Trigger in my tank for a little over a month now. The tang appeared to show ice spots but that seems to have gone away, but now is showing this symptom as well as my trigger. Both are eating, and not scratching on anything in the tank. I was thinking maybe some...
Hello,
I have a 100L fish tank with one vagabond butterflyfish and one Picasso triggerfish. I have had these fish for about 1 and a half weeks now, and I suddenly recognised their behavior to be a bit abnormal. It was just today when I woke up, the trigger was breathing really heavily and...

I have a great looking Niger Trigger with 2" streamer .. been with me for 6 months and super outgoing, nice color, eats from hand...
I want to sell it as I want to keep some milder fish and my Niger is too fast in eating and swimming and dominates. He does not beat up others but is very active...
What are your thoughts on tank size for a picasso triggerfish? I have read as small as a 75g if housed alone and essentially as large as you can afford?
This write up, talks about the different types of triggers and their character. Good read.
