The **Cuban Hogfish** is a vibrant and lively species, showcasing a striking red body with a yellow back half and a prominent white patch on the front. These fish can grow up to 8 inches and require a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. While generally peaceful, they may occasionally bother smaller fish and consume some invertebrates, making them suitable for reef tanks if you're prepared for some inverts to be part of their diet.

Active swimmers, **Cuban Hogfish** thrive in tanks with ample swimming space, ideally longer than they are tall. They also need tanks with plenty of established live rock, offering hiding spots and small invertebrates to snack on between meals. As carnivores, their diet should include meaty foods like small pieces of fresh seafood (fish, shrimp, scallops, clams) and high-quality frozen foods, including mysis and brine shrimp, to ensure their health and happiness.
