Bodianus Diplotaenia
Add Bodianus Hogfish to aquariums with plenty of stable rock work for hiding, a deep sand bed and lots of swim room. If frightened, they may burrow in the sand for protection. Hogfish are voracious eaters so provide a high-quality meaty diet multiple times daily. Hogfish can be a bit territorial but do tend to get along with most tank inhabitants. They may pick at small invertebrates and crustaceans. Most Hogfish are hermaphrodites, meaning they may turn from female to male at some point in their lives.
Juveniles and adult Mexican Hogfish will have different colouration. Juveniles have an overall red body and horizontal black stripes. Adults are a maroon to brown body colour with a yellow vertical stripe. Mexican Hogfish can grow up to 70cm in length.
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 1000L or larger for this species.
