The Undulate Triggerfish, also known as the Orangelined
Triggerfish or Orangetailed Triggerfish, has an attractive, emerald-green body
with yellow-orange vertical stripes.
A 180 gallon or larger aquarium with large pieces of rock
to form caves is ideal. It will rearrange the aquarium landscaping and rocks.
It vocalizes using a "grunting" sound. It is a hardy fish, but
aggressive towards other fish.
The Undulate Triggerfish needs a varied diet of meaty
foods including; squid, krill, clams, small fish and hard shelled shrimp to
help wear down their ever growing teeth.
