Clown Trigger - Not to be kept with smaller fish or invertebrates as it is a voracious eater and can be boisterous. It is recommended to also only keep one as it will quarrel with other members of the species. Ensure that this fish is the last to be added to the tank so it does not attack newcomers. Redeeming features are that this fish is incredibly animated and will likely interact with its owner through the glass, in addition to its attractive and colourful.
