The Blue Throat Trigger Male (Xanthichthys auromarginatus) is an eye-catching fish that will add a pop of color to your aquarium. With its grayish-brown body covered in light-blue spots and yellow-edged fins, this fish is truly a stunning sight.

One of the standout features of the Blue Throat Trigger Male is the darker blue area on its cheeks, earning it the name Blue Throat. This charming characteristic adds a unique touch to its appearance and makes it a standout among other fish species.

When it comes to creating the perfect environment for this fish, a spacious aquarium with a minimum capacity of 125 gallons is recommended. Including rocks and caves will provide plenty of hiding spots for the Blue Throat Trigger Male to explore and claim as its own.

Feeding the Blue Throat Trigger Male a varied diet is crucial to its health and well-being. It thrives on meaty foods such as squid, krill, clams, small fish, and hard-shelled shrimp. By ensuring a diverse diet, you'll help wear down its ever-growing teeth, promoting good dental health.

Adult Blue Throat Trigger Males can reach a length of up to 11.8 inches (30 cm), making them a medium-sized fish that won't overpower your tank. Their smaller size is part of their appeal, especially when compared to larger triggerfish species.
