Balistes vetula, also known as the queen triggerfish, is a reef dwelling fish of the Atlantic Ocean. It is occasionally caught as a gamefish, and sometimes kept in marine aquariums.
Appearance
It is a large fish that reaches 60cm in length. It is typically brown with blue lines on its fins and head.
In the aquarium
As one of the largest and most aggressive of the triggerfish, this fish is rarely a good choice as a resident in a marine aquarium. It is however a hardy fish for those who can provide it with a proper environment. Because it grows so large and so quickly the ideal aquarium for this fish is a 500 gallon aquarium, although some sources argue they can be kept is as little as a 125 gallon aquarium when it achieves its adult size of two feet it is unlikely to thrive.
Its diet consists of invertebrates. In aquariums shrimp, squid, clams, octopus, scallops, and crab are all good choices of food.

Check out this new nano protein skimmer. I wonder if this will fit in the back chamber of my biocube. I may pick one up to replace the cheesy biocube skimmer. I am not very fond of the airstone you need in that one.
Anyone have any reviews of it yet? read more....
