Quick Care Guide

Tank Requirements

Provide rock crevices and peaceful companions; guard overflow intakes. Tank recommendations refer to long-term housing; adult size, tank footprint and existing livestock also matter.

Diet & Feeding

Offer finely sized mysis and other small marine meaty foods daily.

Temperament & Compatibility

Avoid predatory fish; conspecifics may compete unless an established pair.

Water Conditions

• Temperature: 75–78°F
• Specific gravity: 1.024–1.026
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Ammonia and nitrite: undetectable

Maintain stable conditions, good oxygenation and regular water quality checks. Match acclimation to the fish's actual holding water.

Special Considerations
