The **Barred Hamlet** is a captivating and seldom-seen fish in home aquariums. These fish feature a predominantly white body adorned with bold brown and tan vertical stripes.

Reaching up to 6 inches in length, **Barred Hamlets** require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They are semi-aggressive and generally coexist peacefully with other fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, caution is advised as they may prey on very small fish and some invertebrates.

For optimal health, **Barred Hamlets** thrive in tanks with abundant live rock, providing them with hiding spots and opportunities to forage for small invertebrates. They can be kept in small groups in larger tanks if introduced simultaneously.

As carnivores, **Barred Hamlets** need a diet rich in meaty foods such as mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and small pieces of fresh seafood to maintain their health and vitality.

If you have questions about whether the **Barred Hamlet** is suitable for your aquarium, feel free to reach out to us anytime.
