This fish is a striking addition to a large marine setup. It has a unique appearance and remains active without causing major aggression. Only suitable for experienced aquarists with a spacious tank. Very satisfied with the purchase and its behavior in the tank.
Connor Murray –
Installed in a 150-gallon tank with proper hiding spots. The fish is semi-aggressive but manageable with proper tank mates. Not for beginners. It’s visually impressive and adds a dynamic presence to the display.
Victoria Hughes –
We have a large tank and the fish has adapted well. It’s not aggressive toward other fish, but it does require a lot of space and stable water conditions. Would recommend only to expert-level keepers.
