Description: A trigger from West Africa, the Golden Heart Trigger is a very happy, but very aggressive fish. This species should be kept in fish-only aquariums with strong and aggressive tank mates. Mixing triggers should always be taken with caution. This species can grow to 20" so larger aquariums are better.
