Striped Burrfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Striped Burrfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other semi-aggressive, larger fish that are not easily intimidated. Avoid keeping with very small fish or invertebrates as they may be preyed upon. Not reef-safe.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and exploration. Excellent filtration is essential due to their messy eating habits. They are prone to nipping at tank mates if not adequately fed or if housed in too small a tank. Provide a varied diet of meaty foods.
