The candy cane hogfish of theTerelabrusgenus are curious and colorful reef fish with the potential to be an awesome reef aquarium inhabitant. With a body shape and size fallin halfway between a wrasse and a hogfish, the candy hogfish is small in stature but makes up for it with great personality and a very interesting pattern. Red and white parallel lines run down the length of the candy hogfish’s body with a girdle of yellow coloration framing the head. When they mature largerTerelabrusmay have the yellow head and face adornments intensify in coloration with the yellow coloration becoming more intense and perhaps becoming highlighted with subtle blue markings.
由于糖果甘蔗霍格鱼很少见,而且有些害羞,它们比他们受欢迎且艳丽的仙女wrasse少得多的频率要少得多,但我们会证明Terelabrushogfish are actually better invetments of time, money and emotion. Like other hogfish the candy cane hog is pretty durable although the red and white stripedTerelabrusare shy and may take some coaxing to begin eating aquarium fare. However, once you get your candy cane hogfish acclimated to its aquarium life you will be rewarded with a fish that lives longer and is much less aggressive than large fairy wrasses and other classic hogfish of the genusBodianus.
特定的个人Terelabrus霍格鱼(Hogfish)属于托尼·瓦尔加斯(Tony Vargas),他们亲自学会了这只鲜为人知的鱼会变得多么有风度。这些图像和电影是在今年早些时候制作的,当时Hogfish仍然是一个新鲜的水族馆标本,但几周前我们就看了看它,Tony应该重命名IT Butterball。瓦尔加斯先生和他的家人都花点时间喂这只鱼类的糖果甘蔗的“小狗狗”,曾经是轨道稀薄的Terelabrusis about twice as thick, and incredibly inquisitive and trained to lookout for food coming beyond the glass.
