The Halfmoon Trigger, also known as the Bluechin Trigger or the Picasso Trigger, is a stunning and lively fish species that is native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are a popular choice for larger saltwater aquariums due to their bold colors and active nature.
Halfmoon Triggers are relatively large, with a maximum size of 10 inches, and require a minimum tank size of 100 gallons. They are known for their strong personalities and can be aggressive towards other fish, so it's important to keep them with compatible species and provide plenty of hiding places and open swimming areas.
These carnivores will eat a variety of foods, including shrimp, krill, and small pieces of fish. It's important to provide a varied and balanced diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
The Halfmoon Trigger's unique characteristic is their vibrant coloration, which includes a striking blue chin and half-moon shaped tail fin. Their active nature and personality make them a great addition to larger saltwater aquariums.
