Keeping Cunner in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: semi-aggressive
  • Diet: carnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 75 gallons
  • Compatibility: Can be kept with other robust, temperate marine fish of similar size. May be aggressive towards smaller, more docile species or conspecifics if not given enough space and hiding spots.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-established temperate marine aquarium with ample live rock for hiding and foraging. Good filtration and stable water parameters are crucial. May attempt to jump, so a secure lid is necessary. Not typically a common aquarium fish due to its specific temperature requirements and availability.
