The Bluelined Triggerfish is a stiking display of yellow and blue, the Bluelined Trigger is an eye catcher. However, its attitude is sometimes even worse than the Queen Trigger. It is very aggresive, territorial, and rearranges the aquarium constantly by toppling rock and digging up the substrate. |

The Bluelined Triggerfish (Pseudobalistes fucus) is sometimes called a Blue Triggerfish, a Yellowspotted Triggerfish, or a Rippled Triggerfish. It belongs to the family named Balistidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 22.0 inches in length, the Bluelined Triggerfish is aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pseudobalistes fucus should not be housed in a tank less than 180 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and plenty of hiding places.
