Keeping Diagonal-Banded Sweetlips in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 300 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in large, fish-only aquariums with other robust, semi-aggressive fish. Not suitable for reef tanks as they may consume invertebrates. Can be kept singly or in very large tanks as a small group if introduced simultaneously.
• Special requirements: Requires a very large tank with ample swimming space and numerous hiding spots among live rock. Excellent filtration is essential due to their large size and messy eating habits. A varied diet of meaty foods is crucial for their health and coloration. Juveniles are more delicate and require pristine water conditions.
