Gold Heart Triggerfish (Balistes punctatus)

The Gold Heart Triggerfish is a striking and rarely seen Atlantic species, recognized for its deep blue-gray body and distinctive golden markings near the pectoral fins. With its bold personality and hardy nature, this Atlantic triggerfish is a standout choice for large fish-only aquariums.

Thriving in spacious tanks with ample rockwork for hiding and exploration, this species can be territorial and should be housed with similarly sized, assertive tankmates. It requires a protein-rich diet, including shrimp, squid, and shellfish, to maintain its health and strong teeth. As with most triggerfish, caution should be taken when introducing it to a community setting.

Retail Appeal:

• Unique golden accents and striking coloration.
• Hardy, long-lived, and highly interactive with its environment.
• Ideal for large, aggressive fish-only aquariums.

Stock the Gold Heart Triggerfish to offer customers a durable and visually impressive species that brings personality and movement to marine setups.
