Queen trigger Profile

Balistes vetula

ℹ️ Overview

The Queen triggerfish (Balistes vetula) features vibrant blue and yellow colors, predominantly blue with yellow highlights around its fins and head. It is native to the Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Canada to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. It has a distinctive appearance with a deep, laterally compressed body and a series of lines and spots unique to the species, contributing to its ornamental appeal. Despite its striking appearance, the Queen triggerfish is not as commonly found in the aquarium hobby as other species, primarily due to its large size and aggressive temperament, which can make it challenging to keep with other fish.
