Yes i agree with you , my picasso does his laps back and forth my 100 gallon aquarium after he is done with his meal. A happy and funny fish alright, thinks he is a watchdog or something. Bwahhaha. . . Best fish ever.

Yes they are funny and you get entertained. . . . .

I just bought a undulate along with a blue tang. They are about the same size and seem to get along so far. I also have a snowflake eel and they are funny to watch. My undulate has kind of set the tone for what's "his," but now has settled in. I am hoping if I keep him well fed it will keep his aggression under control. I did not know that they were very aggressive fish until after I bought him. So we shall see how it works outs.

All kinds of meaty foods including crustaceans, molluscs, and fish.

I have a clown triggerfish with a picasso triggerfish and a yellow tang and even though they fight they make great aquarium pets!

I had one then my undulate ate his eyes out and tore him up!

My four inch blue trigger is very playful and interacts with me and its tank mates, which include a brown tang, regal tang, lemon peel, dottyback, clownfish and chromis in a 70 gallon tank. Today it started sticking its head out of the water and squirting water!

I have an undulate trigger and a picasso with a foxface rabbitfish, coral beauty, and two clown fish. So far there have been no deaths but the undulate is very aggresive. No one dares go into his cave or there certainly would be a death. The picasso used to rule the tank but now he just stays out of the way and sleeps on the other side of the tank, not anywhere near his old cave (the undulates new home). The undulate also has nipped a lot of the tail from the coral beauty. Like other people said, very aggresive but also interesting and pretty.

I have had a huma huma and two clowns, they're great! The clown I have currently is the smallest in the tank yet continues to slightly bully his larger dogface puffer cousin. He is in constant display mode, patrolling the tank like a beat cop.

I had an undulate, about 4 inches, in a 75 gallon with a similar sized picasso, niger, and a 16 inch wolf eel. Well, I fed them more than the required amount daily, and he still ate the niger and ate a lot of the fins off the wolf eel. The picasso stayed out of his way for the most part. I loved the way he looked but I hated his appetite. He would snatch all the food immediately, take it to his domain and feast. I took him back to the store and got 45 bucks for him.

My Undulate is now 4" and well. Entertaining with a massive attitude against a 6" Picasso and at time a 9" Emperor Snapper. No permanent damage or fatalities in the last 12 months, so I'm adding a 5" Blue Trigger tomorrow! (Oh Oh?). By the way, my Tomato Clown also puts him in his place.
