Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: semi-aggressive
- Diet: carnivore
- Minimum tank size: 120 gallons
- Compatibility: Can be kept with other robust, semi-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping with very small or docile species. Only one male per tank unless the tank is exceptionally large with ample hiding spots and multiple females.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging. A sand bed is beneficial as they may bury themselves at night or when startled. Good water quality and strong filtration are essential. They are jumpers, so a tight-fitting lid is necessary.
