Pearly Razorfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Pearly Razorfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 120 gallons
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other robust, non-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping with very small or shy species, or other razorfish unless in a very large tank with ample hiding spots. May prey on small invertebrates.
• Special requirements: Requires a deep sand bed (at least 4-6 inches, 10-15 cm) for burrowing. A tight-fitting lid is essential as they are known jumpers, especially when startled. Provide plenty of open sand areas and some rockwork for visual barriers.
