Phil Metcalfe –
Got this tiny triggerfish for my 50-gallon tank. It’s active and curious, though it does show aggressive behavior toward other fish. I’ve kept it separate from smaller species. Works well in a beginner setup with proper space and hiding spots.
Michael Brown –
Perfect for a beginner aquarist. The fish is lively and stays within the tank size limits. I noticed it grows slowly, and it’s not aggressive toward my larger fish when kept in a well-structured environment.
Madeleine Ferguson –
It’s aggressive and needs a lot of space. I had to keep it in a separate tank initially. Not ideal for small tanks or mixed communities. Still a good choice for experienced beginners with proper setup.
