A 300 gallon or larger aquarium with rocks and caves provides a good environment. The Bluelined Triggerfish will rearrange the landscaping and rocks. It can sometimes be heard making a grunting sound.
The Bluelined Triggerfish needs a varied diet of meaty foods including; squid, krill, clams, small fish and hard shelled shrimp to help wear down their ever growing teeth.
