Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very small, peaceful, slow-moving fish that will not outcompete them for food. Avoid aggressive or fast-moving tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of hitching posts (e.g., live rock, artificial corals, macroalgae). Excellent water quality is paramount, with stable parameters and low flow. Feeding live or frozen Mysis shrimp multiple times a day is crucial. Sensitive to sudden changes in environment.
