Golden Heart Trigger (3”)

The Gold Heart Triggerfish (Balistes punctatus), also known as the Bluespotted is endemic to the Caribbean and Western Atlantic Ocean. They have a white or yellow body with black spots, blue stripes and a bright gold underside. They do best if housed singly, as they may be aggressive to similar species. Given their carnivorous diet for invertebrates, they are not recommended for reef aquariums and do well in FOWLR tanks, with fish of similar size. They should be fed a healthy, carnivorous diet of shrimp, fish and occasional mollusks, to help ensure their health.
