Other Common Names

Diana Hogfish, Spotted Hogfish

Description

The Diana’s Hogfish is a very hardy fish but one of the least friendly of the Hogfish genus. Will nip at bivalves, clams, and even eels. The Diana’s Hogfish does best kept in relatively aggressive aquarium with larger species that will not allow this fish to bully them.

As juveniles, most Hogfish should be kept with non-aggressive and docile tankmates. As they grow they will become boisterous and harass these fish and should be moved to a more aggressive system. Will eat crustaceans, worms, snails and small clams.

Diet

Feed a varied diet consisting of chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel.
