Yellow Candy Hogfish - Bodianus bimaculatus

The Yellow Candy Hogfish is a vibrant and serene species of Hogfish. These fish have an elongated, slender body predominantly yellow with striking horizontal red stripes. They are also known for two distinct black spots, one located behind the head and another near the tail, which gives them their nickname.

Reaching up to 4 inches in length, the Yellow Candy Hogfish thrives in aquariums of at least 30 gallons. They are peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums. However, they may show aggression towards other hogfish, so it's advisable to introduce multiple hogfish simultaneously.

These fish flourish in tanks with abundant live rock, providing shelter and a natural food source of small invertebrates between feedings.
