Hi,
No issues with food, arrived slightly skinny but gained body weight quickly, I guess it is a little more agressive than the R.aculeatus, even though it is many years since I had the R.aculeatus, it might be just that specimen, as it is the case with so many trigger fish.
Awsome fish.

Nice to have your answer; Vili :D

Mine is very finicky when it's first arrived. He doesn't interest in any food until the second day that it just started to accept only Hikari S. However, he do not show any interest in live shrimp and clam. During the first few day, I went to the shop and get one more R. aculeatus as a dither fish to trigger the halfmoon to get eat. And it started to attack the halfmoon, even though the picasso is smaller after a few hours.

Today, he accept only hikari S, live mollies, and started to eat the live glass shrimp.

It's like what you said, Hellyeah. I offered him variety of food and it's getting better. On the first period, he only accepted pellets and followed by glass shrimp. Now he can eat almost everything being offered.

the one that I got is about 3 1/2 inches. still got juvenile coloration but started to change to adult form. The black edge of the tail starting to be appear.
