The These fish are more suited to a reef type tank, as they scoot around the liverock, and live sand looking for small Amphipods and Copepods. Males are easily identified by their large dorsal fin which they will display mainly when courting and in territorial disputes. When two males meet, they will often lock lips and fiercely shake each other. Althgough the males will have territorial disputes, it is possible to keep these fish in small groups. Keeping this fish in groups would be suggested in a large tank. Be sure to keep this fish in a well established tank as this fish rarely accepts commercially prepared foods.
