Fast Facts

This beautiful hogfish is a striking and hardy aquarium fish. Provide larger specimens with plenty of swimming room. They are best housed with moderately bold fishes or with larger, peaceful species, as their bold, boisterous nature may intimidate smaller fish, especially those introduced after them. Not as frequently available or as plentiful as the related Spanish Hogfish. Juveniles are vigorous cleaners.
