Blue Jaw Triggerfish Care Guide

In this video I show you guys the ultimate care guide to the blue jaw triggerfish. One of the coolest most interesting fish I have ever kept. Hope you guys learn a thing or too from this video before buying one of these fish. Please check out my care guide videos and 125 gallon reef tank series.

just got my blue jaw triggerfish, instantly active in the quarantine tank and is already eating well, love the little feller

Great video. Bought mine 7 days ago. Still hiding in a back rock cave along with my 20 year old maroon clown. Had one in the tank for 10 years prior. He passed a year ago. Looking forward to seeing this guy calm down.

Nice description I bought a pair of Triggerfish yesterday still bagged up at the store and they came out just a little yesterday to eat and basically today one day later they're swimming around quite a bit more especially at feeding time. Yes you're right sugars are usually shy for a while but they can differ so I will assume that my knob come out more and more since I'm already seeing them in front of me beautiful fish, get a female they follow each other around it's cool to watch

Beautiful looking fish! At some point i'd love to have a bigger tank with fish like this.

I love blue jaw triggers, not all blue jaw triggers hide a lot, when I put mine into my 400 gallon wall tank he hid for 1 hour and than just came out and swam with my other fish. Mine destroys frozen shrimp. Mine is still kind of shy but in the beginning he didn’t hide but her only swam on one side of the tank

I have one male and I love the guy with a porcupine puffer in a 50 gal lagoon in 6 months I move and want a 150 gal custom lagoon long !!! Thx for the info and nice aquarium

Thanks for the video. I just bought 1 a week ago and only have seen him once a day a dinner time. I thought there was something wrong.

I have mine in a 65 gallon tank and he does fine. He comes out all the time especially to eat but he is skittish and hides a lot if someone gets right up close to the tank.

Do triggers bite your hands when you're adjusting things in the tank? I'm tired of fish (*coughclownfishcough*) nipping at me all the time.

[sharonrebenstorf]

Beautiful tank. Your fish are beautiful and well taken care of.

I picked up one Friday for $ 40 great looking fish and size

[Dannythum]

Me just brought this trigger. Hiding for 2 days. Only today started see him swim out once awhile when nobody nearby the tank. Hope he can get used to me around.

Hi Eagle Aquatics great video. I was wondering if I could put this in my 225 gallon with an aggressive dominant large sohal tang or would it be too risky.

[gtgodbear]

I wanted a clown Triggerfish as a pet cuz it was my favorite but I could settle for a blue chin. I'd rather deal with a lot smaller triggerfish. Can you put a male and female together? I try to give them a good hiding spot to see if they will breed. Or make a hybrid with a male blue chin 9.5" and a female of the next size up I think the Picasso Trigger at 11". Blue Chin/Picasso hybrid offspring would be cool.

Hi, I have a question about mine. she was doing fine for months and then we did a water change...which wasn't abnormal then added a puffer to the tank. she's been hiding in a "cave" and not coming out to eat...its been over a week. she was hiding a little before the puffer. I was finally able to feed her with the tongs some shrimp. but still won't come out. any suggestions? could her teeth be overgrown from not enough shells to file them down?

[AbsoluteZero]

Hey there! How is he doing and how big is he now? Do you think he will eventually outgrow the 6ft 125?

[jonasbergkvist]

I really like the blue trigger, and i’m thinking of getting a pair (male and female) once i get my tank up and running. Do you think they would be ok in a 150 gallon tank?

[nicholaselia]

I just got a trigger all he does he’s stuck on the over flow area ... should I be worried ?
