Beware of

Jumps out of open aquaria
This species is known to jump out of open aquaria.
Territorial
These fish enjoy having their own territory and can be very aggressive towards most approaching fishes.
Small aquaria
This species can be kept in a small tank, if it is specifically equipped to meet its needs.
It is recommended however, to keep it in an aquarium which is larger then described above.

Keep in mind

Symbioses with Pistol shrimps
These fish should be kept with Pistol shrimp of the Alpheus genus.
Frequent feeding
This fish requires feeding several times a day, especially when newly added.
When the fish can find its natural food in the aquarium it requires less frequent feeding.
Substrate
These fish prefer a substrate which allows it to burrow.
A substrate consisting of sand, coral pieces, shells and small pieces of broken up shells is ideal for them to dig holes in.
One can also arrange rocks to enable the fish to create a hole underneath, making certain they are secure and cannot fall over.
There should be space to enable them to make a hole which is at least 1½ inch (3 cm) longer than their own body.
Other animals digging in the sand, can stress this species, if the aquarium is not spacious enough. Be therefore aware of, for example of Wrasses which burrow at night.
