Triggerfish

A relatively stocky, oval body shape characterizes triggerfish. The triggerfish caudal fins are quite small, so these fish rely mainly on the rippling movement of the rear part of the dorsal fin, combined with their anal fin, to propel themselves though the water.
Their front dorsal spine interlocks with a smaller second spine and can be used to anchor the fish in a rocky crevice. Once the locking mechanism has been tiggered, it’s virtually impossible to dislodge them. Therefore it may be necessary to buy the triggerfish and its rocky retreat, if it’s retreated their while being caught.
Triggerfish are idea for people looking for a fish with personality as they can be tamed sufficiently to feed on hand offered food.
