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:
“We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
