Tank Environment
For successful aquarium culture, this fish needs good sand/coral rubble cover for burrow building and lots of rock cover; a reef environment is suitable. The recommended minimum tank size is 20 gallons (80 litres). It may be possible to keep these fish happily in smaller "nano reefs", but this is not advised. The water specific gravity should be 1.023 - 1.025, with a pH of 8.1 - 8.4; water temperature at 72 - 76°F / 22 - 25°C is ideal.

Famous quotes containing the word environment:
“People between twenty and forty are not sympathetic. The child has the capacity to do but it can’t know. It only knows when it is no longer able to do—after forty. Between twenty and forty the will of the child to do gets stronger, more dangerous, but it has not begun to learn to know yet. Since his capacity to do is forced into channels of evil through environment and pressures, man is strong before he is moral. The world’s anguish is caused by people between twenty and forty.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
