This species must be fed with an appropriately varied diet.

This species is very sensitive during transportation and acclimatizing into the aquarium.

These fish may well hide themselves for a while, whilst getting acclimatized.

Do not disturb the fish while acclimating because it will prolong the process.

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.

This species needs good hiding places, for example, between live rocks.

This species comes in multiple color variations which can make identification problematic.

This species functions best as a pair (one male, one female), or one male with several females.

This species is very shy and docile, so one should be careful when keeping it with more aggressive fish.

This species can change gender from female to male.

When a male is needed, a female changes sex and takes on the role.

This species can be aggressive when kept together with fish that are very similar, or if they are not provided with adequate space.
