Picasso Trigger (Rhinecanthus aculeatus)
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
The Picasso Trigger is a striking fish that has colors that look like they were painted across its body! When it comes to aggression, the Picasso isn't the most aggressive when compared to other triggers, but nonetheless, they are aggressive. Aggression can be amplified in smaller tanks. To make the trigger feel at home make sure the rockwork has ample hiding places. They will grow to be a pretty large size of 10" and will need ample swimming space. Full grown adults of this trigger will need around 150 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. They have a cream to white body coloration and multiple different marks of white, blue, yellow, orange, brown and black. The Picasso Triggers are found in the Indo-Pacific inhabiting the shallow protected lagoons and reef flats up to 50 meters deep. Juveniles are more secretive and tend to stay hidden in the wild, while the adults will be out in the open more.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
