Red Diana Hogfish – Sri Lanka
Bodianus diana
Hogfish are known for being very hardy and for growing large so a large enough aquarium is necessary. They will eat just about anything they can fit into their mouths, so use caution when picking tank mates or adding to a reef aquarium. The Red Diana Hogfish’s bright colors will stand out in your aquarium. This hardy Hog is docile and typically peaceful to all fish. Beware they may make a meal out of your clean-up crew and really small fish. This fish will grow pretty large at 10”, so be sure to provide a large enough aquarium of 150 gallons when fully grown. They are not considered reef safe. Provide a meaty diet of Frozen Foods and high-quality pellets. The Red Diana Hogfish is found in the Indian Ocean inhabiting coral rich areas of seaward reefs up to 80 meters deep.
