Striped Sweetlip Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Striped Sweetlip in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 250 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a large, mature aquarium with other robust, semi-aggressive fish. Not suitable for reef tanks as it will consume invertebrates. Can be aggressive towards conspecifics unless introduced as juveniles in a very large system.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with ample swimming space and plenty of rockwork for hiding. A varied diet of meaty foods is essential. Good filtration is necessary due to their messy eating habits and large size. Juveniles are often sold, but their rapid growth and eventual size must be considered.
