This is a fascinating fish to keep in the aquarium, especially in smaller tanks.

It does best if housed with live or faux corals of the branching type.

Members of this genus are thought to have a noxious body slime that deters most predatory fishes from feeding on them.

Not aggressive towards other fish species, although it may fight with members of its own kind.

The number you place in your tank should be a function of how many hiding places in available.
