Description

Comes from waters of Florida and the Bahamas. Also known as the Peppermint Bass, this hardy, reef-safe fish will enjoy Live Rock and a great deal of crevices from which it can swim then retreat to. If more than one is to be present in the same aquarium, it is recommended to introduce them at the same time. Aside from a great personality (though somewhat territorial), the coloration of this fish is its greatest attribute. Its orange-red and pink lateral striping then baby blue or white fins with black spots make this a spectacular aquarium addition.

Feeding

Carnivore-readily accepts meaty meals including Brine Shrimp and frozen prepared foods.
