Redhook Myleus Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Redhook Myleus in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: herbivore
• Minimum tank size: 180 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in groups of 5 or more with other large, peaceful to semi-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping with very small or fin-nipping species. Can be housed with other large characins, large cichlids, and some catfish species.
• Special requirements: Requires a spacious aquarium with strong filtration due to their size and waste production. Provide plenty of open swimming space, as well as some hiding spots created by driftwood and robust plants (they will eat softer plants). A varied diet rich in vegetable matter is crucial.
