Red Tail Triggerfish

General information

The Red Tail Triggerfish comes from the Caribbean Ocean and is mostly purple in color. The sides are marked with evenly spaced spots that are darker than the rest of the body. The fish is also outlined in darker lines that progress into the tail and change from their dark color into a red coloration. A large aquarium with rocks and caves provides a good habitat. It will rearrange the landscaping and rocks as it wanders in and out of the caves. It vocalizes using a grunting sound. The Red Tail Triggerfish are very friendly and make a great pet as well as a great conversation piece.
