Trigger - Pinktail

$150.00

The Pinktail Triggerfish (Melichthys vidua) is a beautiful and distinctive fish species found in the Indo-Pacific region. Here are the general requirements for keeping a Pinktail Triggerfish in an aquarium:

  1. Tank size: Pinktail Triggerfish require a large tank due to their size and active swimming behavior. A tank with a minimum capacity of 150 gallons (567 liters) is recommended. Providing a larger tank will offer more swimming space and allow for better territorial management.

  2. Tank setup: Provide a well-decorated tank with plenty of live rock formations, caves, and crevices to mimic the natural environment of the Pinktail Triggerfish. They appreciate hiding spots to retreat to when feeling threatened. The tank should also have open areas for swimming.

  3. Water parameters: Maintain stable water conditions within the following parameters: temperature between 72-78°F (22-26°C), pH around 8.1-8.4, and specific gravity between 1.020 and 1.025. Regular monitoring and maintenance of water parameters are important for the health of the fish.

  4. Lighting: Pinktail Triggerfish do not have specific lighting requirements. They can adapt to a wide range of lighting conditions. Provide moderate to high-quality lighting to support the overall health of the aquarium.

  5. Diet: Pinktail Triggerfish are omnivorous and have a varied diet in the wild. Offer them a combination of high-quality marine flakes or pellets, frozen or live meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and fish, and some vegetable matter. It's important to provide a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs.

  6. Tankmates: Pinktail Triggerfish can be aggressive and territorial towards other fish, particularly those of a similar size or shape. It is generally recommended to keep them as the only triggerfish species in the tank. Choose tankmates carefully, opting for larger, robust, and peaceful species that can withstand any aggression.

  7. Water flow: Pinktail Triggerfish prefer moderate to strong water flow in the tank. Ensure proper circulation and filtration to maintain good water quality and oxygenation.

  8. Acclimation: When introducing a Pinktail Triggerfish to a new tank, proper acclimation is important. Gradually acclimate them to the water parameters of your tank over a period of time to minimize stress and ensure a smooth transition.

Remember to provide a stable and well-maintained environment for Pinktail Triggerfish. Regular monitoring of water parameters, a proper diet, and appropriate tankmates are crucial for their health and well-being. Research the specific requirements of the species and consult with experienced aquarists or marine biologists for proper care guidelines.
