Streaked Gurnard Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Streaked Gurnard in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 200 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other large, robust, non-aggressive temperate marine fish. Avoid small fish or invertebrates as they may be prey.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with plenty of open sand or fine gravel substrate for foraging, as well as rocky structures for shelter. Excellent filtration and stable water parameters are crucial. Live food (shrimp, small fish) is preferred, but can be acclimated to frozen meaty foods.
