Description

The Candy Stripe Hogfish is a vibrant and bold fish, distinguished by its striking pattern of white and pink with red stripes, adding a pop of color to any marine setup. Known for its semi-aggressive temperament, this hogfish is best suited to community tanks with other robust or semi-aggressive species, where it will add both beauty and personality.

Native to reef environments, the Candy Stripe Hogfish may nip at small invertebrates, so caution is advised if kept in a reef tank. It requires a tank with ample rockwork for shelter and exploration, as it enjoys moving through the rock crevices and hiding spots.

As a carnivore, this hogfish thrives on a protein-rich diet, including mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and small pieces of marine fish or crustaceans. A varied diet will support its health and maintain its vivid coloration. With its unique appearance and lively behavior, the Candy Stripe Hogfish is a fascinating choice for experienced aquarists looking to add character to their tank.
