Niger Trigger
(Odonus niger)
| This species coloration will vary from region to region with some individuals having a purpleish, greenish, or bluish tinge. This species is a hardy aquarium species accepting a variety of commercial foods. Initially this species may hide, but once acclimated, it will be out in the open a great deal of the time. Of all the triggerfish species, this is one of the least aggressive, with the aquarist even being able to keep this species in a community aquarium. Despite their overall good nature the Niger is still very hostile towards invertebrates like shrimps and crabs, viewing them solely as a tasty meal. Don't be tempted to keep the Niger with invertebrates ... it won't work out well for the invertebrate! |
