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. Approximate Purchase Size: Small 1-1/2" to 2", Medium 2" to 3", Large 3" to 4"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
