Yellow Candy Hogfish

The Yellow Candy Hogfish is also known as the Twospot Slender Hogfish, or Yellow Hogfish. It's a bright yellow color, with a few red horizontal stripes, and a black spot that is located behind the eye, and in close proximity to the tail. A 30 gallon or larger tank with hiding spots is recommended. It is a peaceful fish that quickly adjusts to the majority of aquariums. In the event that you have more than one Candy Hogfish that is going to be added to the tank, it's essential to add them at the same time as they can be slightly territorial between them. If they are mature and fully grown, the Candy Hogfish may take a preference to smaller, decorative shrimp that are introduced once the hogfish has been established in the aquarium reef. A diet that is comprised of meaty food items, including vitamin-rich brine shrimp, also known as mysis shrimp is preferred and high quality marine flake.
