Bigeye Soldierfish Pristigenys alta
The Big Eye, also known as the Short Bigeye, is a burnt orange to red color with several white highlights. The dorsal fin has a feathery appearance and the other fins are marked in black at the ends. Provide plenty of swimming space and hiding spots. It will eat invertebrates such as worms (includes fireworms), crustaceans, and serpent stars. It is a nocturnal fish and hides while the lights are on.
When first introduced into the aquarium, live saltwater feeder shrimp should be used to entice this fish to eat. Once eating, offer live feeder shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp and chopped marine meats.
