Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 200 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other peaceful, cold-water demersal fish that will not outcompete them for food or space. Avoid aggressive or fast-moving species.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with a deep sand or fine gravel substrate for burrowing. Excellent filtration and strong water movement are essential to mimic their natural marine environment. Live food and frozen marine invertebrates are preferred.
