Keeping Cockatoo Waspfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (114 liters)
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very robust, non-aggressive fish that are too large to be considered prey. Avoid keeping with small fish or invertebrates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established marine aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and perching. Excellent water quality is paramount. They are ambush predators and prefer to remain still, blending into their surroundings. Live food or frozen meaty foods are essential for their diet. Due to their venomous spines, extreme caution is advised during tank maintenance.
