Masuda's Hogfish
Masuda’s Hogfish is a vividly-colored, hardy fish that is newly available to aquarium hobbyists. Also known as the Peppermint Hogfish, Bodianus masudai, its size also makes it a great fish for a fish-only aquarium. It grows to only about five inches in the wild and, likely, smaller than that in captivity. In aquariums of twenty to ninety gallons, it is best kept singly. In larger aquariums, groups may be introduced simultaneously for a dramatic effect. An active fish, it does require feedings multiple times per day and plenty of swimming space. Brine shrimp, black worms, or saltwater feeder shrimp should be routinely provided to maintain best health.
Approximate Arrival Size for Masuda’s Hogfish: 1 to 2.5 in.
