Description: Spanish Hogs are great choices for fish-only aquaria with larger, semi-aggressive fish. They are very hardy and should be placed in aquariums 75 gallons or larger. We source our Spanish Hogfish from the Caribbean. They are a beautiful blue and yellow fish that will add movement to a tank. USE CAUTION when mixing with other large wrasses, this fish will become aggressive towards conspecifics. A tight-fitting lid is recommended, as this fish can jump. Spanish Hogfish will appreciate a large tank with plenty of rockwork, provided with a varied, meaty diet.
