Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: peaceful
- Diet: carnivore
- Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
- Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other fish, but can be aggressive towards smaller, docile invertebrates. Best kept with other active, medium-sized fish. Avoid keeping with very small or slow-moving tank mates that could be seen as prey.
- Special requirements: Requires a deep sand bed (at least 3-4 inches) for burrowing at night and when startled. Plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging is also beneficial. Good water quality and stable parameters are crucial. They are known jumpers, so a tight-fitting lid is essential.
