| Fast Facts | This an attractive fish that acts more like a dog than a fish! Young fish are mild-mannered and usually behave themselves. But as they get larger they will become more belligerent. Typically not quite as aggressive as other members of the genus. They can be kept with fish equal in size or larger. Keep one of these fish per tank, although it can be housed with other triggers. An ideal aquarium fish if housed with appropriate tankmates. | ||||||||||||
