i got him from a friend who dabbles with wholesaler a bit. i had a 6in beautiful huma but i bought a tusk and really wanted to keep the tusk at the time and got rid of the trigger. i missed the huma so much when i found out he had a 1in (at the time) huma i had to get him. i am hoping growing up with the tusk maybe they wont fight when he gets bigger?! iam looking to jump into the 200gallon club in the spring so maybe i wont have any issues.
p.s. i never seen one so small before at any lfs.

plus 1 to best fish ever, i have had mine for almost two years. hes not the fastes growing fish ever, but he sure is a fat little guy.
Agree. Its the fish that got me into marine as well. Ive always had one. I always wanted a larger one, but seems stores only get the 2 inchers etc. Believe it or not we were walking around Petco here, and bam! a beautiful, fat 5 incher. Got him that day and he's been in my 75g by himself. Best fish ever!

I love picasso triggers too. I got one about the same size you have if not a bit smaller (he was tiny), I had him for about 6 years and he was nearly 6" long by that time. Unfortunately I had to give him up when I got out of the hobby due to moving for work for awhile. Here I am another 6 years later finally getting back in and am working on setting up a 150 FOWLR - and yes, it will house another picasso.

My second favorite fish, I've had several over the years. I finally have a tank big enough to enjoy my all time favorite, clown trigger.

that is one fish i always liked but i hear its very very aggressive as it gets older.

They are very aggressive as they mature (from what I've read anyway). I chose tankmates accordingly. Nine damsels, a gold striped maroon clown, comet and a rescued blue hippo tang.
