The Yellow Goatfish is a beautiful solid gold bottom feeder. This fish will do awesome in a large fish-only or FOWLR aquarium. It MUST go in an established tank with a thick sandbed. They will be constantly scouring the sand bed with its barbels to search for food. Do not mix with any fish that are too aggressive. They do best in a peaceful or semi-aggressive tank. Yellow Goatfish won't bother corals, but will eat crustaceans! Be careful when adding into a reef tank!
