I’m an experienced marine aquarist and this fish was a challenge to keep. It demands stable water conditions and a consistent meaty diet. After several weeks of careful maintenance, it started feeding regularly. It’s a striking fish, but not for beginners.

The fish arrived healthy and was shipped at a small size. I’ve maintained strict water parameters and feed it twice daily. It’s active and shows interest in food when conditions are stable. Requires a lot of attention.

I tried keeping it in my tank, but the water fluctuations made it stop eating. I ended up having to adjust my filtration and monitoring routine. It’s not suitable for average hobbyists.
