Twospot Hogfish Bodianus bimaculatus
The Two Spot Hogfish may be the best Hogfish for the home aquarium, largely because of its small size, hardiness and great color. Also known as the Yellow Hogfish, the yellow beauty has lateral striping of pink and white down its midsection. The Two Spot Hogfish is one of the only Hogfish that will do fine with groupings present in the same aquarium. Introducing four or more at the same time ensures best chances for success. Eventually, one larger male will display more pronounced coloration and will emerge as the dominant fish of the group. It is not recommended for the reef aquarium, as larger specimens may feed on smaller invertebrates and may damage clam mantles. An active fish, it does require feedings multiple times per day and plenty of swimming space.
Feed meaty items including mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched brine shrimp and frozen preparations.
