The Rhinecanthus genus has very unique and beatutiful markings. Some look like they have been lightly stroked with a piant brush, others look like they are painted up ready for battle. They are a fairly passive group as juvenilles, yet as they grow older they may become a bit more aggresive. Be aware, they will also attack many kinds of invertebrates. |

The Assasi Triggerfish (Rhinecanthus assasi) is sometimes called an Arabian Picasso Triggerfish. It belongs to the family named Balistidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 12.0 inches in length, the Assasi Triggerfish is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Rhinecanthus assasi should not be housed in a tank less than 75 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area.
