This triggerfish is very difficult to breed in captivity. The color temperature of the lighting plays a role in the coloration of any fish in the aquarium. The exact color of Niger triggerfish varies, and can also change from day to day between purple, blue and blue/green with striking, lighter blue highlight on the fins and long tail lobes.
