A very beautiful and entertaining triggerfish, however it does not play well with others. As a juvenile, you will probably have success housing it with other fish, but as it grows older this trigger will become much more beligerent. It will attack other fish sooner or later, even if they are larger and aggresive as well. |

The Undulate Triggerfish (Balistapus undulatus) is sometimes called an Orangelined Triggerfish or an Orangetailed Triggerfish. It belongs to the family named Balistidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 12.0 inches in length, the Undulate Triggerfish is aggressive in nature and 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. Balistapus undulatus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 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.
