Description
The Red/White Rooster Pygmy Waspfish is a small, ornate fish known for its striking red and white coloration and unique dorsal fin that resembles a rooster’s comb. This peaceful species is well-suited for nano or peaceful community aquariums but should be housed with care due to its mildly venomous spines, which can cause irritation if mishandled. Preferring a carnivorous diet, this waspfish enjoys live or frozen foods and does best in a setup with ample hiding spots and subdued lighting. Its fascinating appearance and calm temperament make it a delightful addition for experienced aquarists.
