Aquarium Information
- Care level: advanced
- Temperament: semi-aggressive
- Diet: carnivore
- Minimum tank size: 180 gallons (for larger species, smaller for juveniles of some species)
- Compatibility: Best kept in species-specific tanks or with very robust, fast-moving, and non-aggressive tank mates that cannot be easily preyed upon. Not suitable for reef tanks due to their diet of invertebrates.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with excellent filtration. Provide plenty of live rock for hiding and exploration. A varied diet of hard-shelled invertebrates is crucial for dental health. Avoid inducing inflation unnecessarily, as it can be stressful and potentially harmful to the fish.
